The new name is part of JDRFโs organization-wide rebranding to become
#BreakthroughT1D. We love this change for a few reasons:
1๏ธโฃThe โJโ in JDRF stands for โjuvenile,โ an outdated way of describing
#type1diabetes. While the onset of
#T1D often occurs in childhood, today we see diagnosis happening at every age, with a majority of new T1D cases in adults. Not to mention the fact that kids diagnosed with type 1 grow up to be adults with type 1!
2๏ธโฃLikewise, video games arenโt just for kids. In fact, 76 percent of the game-playing audience are adults. By leaving the โJโ behind, our program will be more inclusive and welcoming for everyone.
