Join the #BlueBalloonChallenge
Blue Balloon Campaign
Living with type 1 diabetes is like doing everything you do in your daily life, while keeping a balloon in the air. It's a constant balancing act.
This year, we are thrilled to collaborate with Breakthrough T1D, previously JDRF, to illuminate the unsung heroes around us. They are the ones who provide support, who step in to help keep the Blue Balloon floating when doctors and nurses aren't around. They are the partners, the loved ones who make the burden of diabetes a shared load rather than a solitary journey. Help us amplify the story of living with Type 1 diabetes.
Additionally, if you would like to do the #BlueBalloonChallenge in November/ Diabetes Awareness Month, feel free to do so and post it on social media with the #BlueBalloonChallenge hashtag. You could do it with a partner to be in sync with this year's theme.
Together let’s help make the invisible, visible.
It’s called MiniMed™ 780G and it has improved my quality of life tremendously.
