This week on the Scoutcast, we're sitting down with Megan Delco, president of the Arkansas JDRF Board, and Allison Hobbs, a JDRF board member to shine a light on the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
Allison shares her journey into JDRF after her daughter's Type 1 diagnosis in 2021, while Megan discusses her family's involvement following her husband and son’s diagnosis years ago. Both emphasize JDRF's crucial support during diagnosis and beyond. The conversation highlights JDRF's role in funding groundbreaking tests like T1Detect for early detection, as discussed by Megan. Tess emphasizes the emotional and practical assistance JDRF provides, while also stressing the importance of raising awareness about diabetes symptoms.
Overall, the podcast underscores JDRF's vital support for families affected by Type 1 Diabetes and the importance of awareness, early detection, and ongoing research in the fight against the disease.
