Age: 15
Age at T1D diagnosis: 6

In October 2015, when Meason was age 6, he was diagnosed with T1D. Since then, Meason has strived not to let this disease stop him from doing anything. He’s optimistic, but he has highs and lows too—like everyone does!

He loves acting, cooking, and hanging out with his friends. When he grows up, he strives to be an actor or Broadway performer.

Meason also loves going to his favorite diabetes camp—Camp Sweeney! Meason has a fun time every year hanging out with his friends there!

He believes that insulin is almost the same as water. As much as it helps you, it can also hurt you. Meason wants every person to have enough insulin to live a fun and happy life. He can’t wait to talk with government officials to help all people affected by this condition. Meason wants to be the change that people need in the world.
