Living with type 1 diabetes can be incredibly challenging and the work required for daily life deserves special recognition. As such, Children with Diabetes is excited to share that through the new CWD Journey Awards program, there will continue to be a recognition of the work required to thrive with type 1 diabetes. Medals marking 10, 25, 50, and 75 years of daily life with diabetes will serve as an inspiration to everyone in the type 1 community.

This page is for people who received a CWD Journey Award at a Friends for Life conference at a CWD Event, from their health care professional, or some other way and didn't have a chance to share their story. If you are a person living with type 1 diabetes, or care for someone living with type 1 diabetes, you may request one CWD Journey Award using our online request form.

CWD is deeply grateful to Lilly for their support for the CWD Journey Awards program.

The CWD Journey Awards were formerly known as the Lilly Diabetes Journey Awards.
