Aging With Type 1 Diabetes: Success Story Brings Challenges

Growing old with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a relatively new positive phenomenon, thanks in part to more physiologic insulin formations and increasingly sophisticated glucose management technology. Such advances have dramatically reduced acute and chronic complications that historically shortened life expectancy. Drs. Medha Munshi and Nuzhat Chalisa are working to advocate for the aging demographic of Type 1 Diabetics along with members of the community like Joanne Milo who are creating day-to-day hubs of information.
