Age: 14
Age at T1D diagnosis: 6

Isaac enjoys reading, soccer and basketball, but especially loves music! Rock stars need their hands to play their instruments. As Isaac puts it, “I would rather have calluses from playing too much AC/DC than from sticking my finger with this little gadget that makes it bleed a drop onto a little strip to say what my current blood sugar count is.” Following his diagnosis with T1D at age six, Isaac has been incredibly resilient and persevered through the challenges of T1D. He sees the benefits that his insulin pump and CGM provide—from better test scores in school to a huge improvement in his A1c—which is why Isaac is excited to meet with his Members of Congress this summer in Washington, D.C.
