Age: 17
Age at T1D diagnosis: 5

Chase was diagnosed 12 years ago at age 5.  He is now 17 and a junior in high school.  Chase has never let T1D slow him down, literally! He’s a competitive skier and golfer.

He is extremely thankful for all the technology he has seen evolve over the past 12 years since he was diagnosed, including his CGM and insulin pump technology, which use an algorithm to help keep his blood sugar in range. Chase is thrilled to participate in Breakthrough T1D 2025 Children’s Congress and play a role for California in advocating for T1D research.
