"One of the harsh realities of life with a chronic condition in the United States is the possibility of losing insurance coverage – or never having it in the first place. Growing up with diabetes, I felt conditioned to prepare myself to have job opportunities that would provide adequate insurance coverage. A young man with Type 1 Diabetes shares a similar sentiment on the Diabetes Link, 'Any T1D knows that health insurance is arguably the most important perk when deciding whether or not to take a job.' This is the reality of the current systems in the U.S., for better or worse."—Marissa Town, RN, BSN, CDCES, Clinical Director at CWD
