At Splenda, we know there’s a lot to deal with when you have diabetes, including paying close attention to your diet. As we continue to celebrate Diabetes Awareness Month, we’re excited to partner with JDRF to provide the T1D community with resources and tools that clarify how to still enjoy the foods they love without raising blood sugar levels. Serving with Splenda Recipe Book Services will be provided to adults, children and adolescents with T1D through JDRF’s New Diagnosis Care Package.
About JDRF and Type 1 Diabetes
JDRF is dedicated to working to end type 1 diabetes by funding research, advocating for government support, ensuring new treatments are accessible and affordable, and connecting the type 1 diabetes community. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that affects a person’s ability to produce insulin. Insulin helps blood sugar enter the body’s cells to produce energy. Without insulin, blood sugar can build up in the blood, which is harmful to the body. Type 1 diabetes was formerly known as juvenile diabetes because the disease is typically diagnosed in children and young adults. However, the disease can occur at any age, which is why we now call it type 1 diabetes.
