leading global type 1 diabetes (T1D) non-profit. In this new role, sheâs joining efforts with the organization to educate the public about the life-threatening autoimmune disease and the importance of early detection, which can help people avoid severe conditions at the onset of the disease and ultimately saves lives.
Growing up with T1D and overcoming the daily highs and lows of the disease has fueled Niaâs passion for raising awareness and inspiring other T1D youth that they too can achieve their dreams. The âGo Best Friendâ music video features a clip and end-card of Nia managing her T1D using an insulin pen, and information about the JDRF T1Detect screening education and awareness program.
On January 13, 2022, Nia performed at an intimate event in her hometown of Chicago to celebrate the launch of her new music video âGo Best Friend,â and to raise awareness for T1D. Images and footage from the event were captured by Shutterstock, a creative platform dedicated to supporting talented artists across all genres, with a commitment to advancing philanthropic causes.
About Type 1 Diabetes (T1D):
T1D is a chronic, life-threatening autoimmune disease that can strike children and adults at any age. It requires rigorous 24/7 monitoring of blood glucose levelsâeven overnightâto avoid potentially lethal highs and lows in blood sugar, as well as other devastating complications like kidney, eye and nerve diseases. While its causes are not yet entirely understood, scientists believe that both genetic factors and environmental triggers are involved. Its onset is sudden and is not related to diet or lifestyle. In T1D, the bodyâs immune system destroys cells in the pancreas that produce insulin, meaning the body produces little to no insulin to regulate blood sugar and get energy from food. There is nothing you can do to prevent T1D, andâat presentânothing you can do to get rid of it.
