Why This Film Matters
Dr. Swati Elchuri
“Early detection lessens the stress of an unexpected diagnosis, supports better long-term outcomes, and reduces the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) - a serious and sometimes life-threatening complication that often occurs at diagnosis when T1D goes unrecognized."
Zach White
“Managing T1D takes courage and that courage can shape incredible lives and love stories.
If even one person feels seen and less alone after watching My Type, that's everything to me.”
Dr. Kristin Castorino
"As we move toward seeing the whole person in healthcare, especially those living with diabetes, storytelling becomes a powerful tool. By showing real people living fully—with T1D as part of the story, not the whole story—we help a new generation see what it means to thrive, not just survive."
