Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune condition where the body’s own immune system is activated to destroy the beta cells in the pancreas which produce insulin. Insulin is a vital component for life and therefore must be administered exogenously via injections or a pump. Insulin, however, is not a cure it is a lifeline. T1D is a chronic autoimmune disease that can develop at any age, it is not preventable, and right now there is no known cure. Affecting 130,000+ Australians, with 2,900+ children and adults newly diagnosed each year. Some days are better than others – but there is never a day off. T1D is with people every waking (and sleeping) moment of their lives, this impact can be deep and long-lasting for those living with T1D and their carers.Can you help us create a better life for children and people living with Type 1 Diabetes?Terms and Conditions of tickets; Please note that tables consist of 10 seats.
