TT12 x Mutation Biology Journal: Diabetes Awareness Edition

A Collaboration for Diabetes Awareness Month

This November, in honor of Diabetes Awareness Month, Teens for Type 1 & 2 (TT12) is excited to announce our partnership with Mutation Biology Journal!

TT12 contributed articles to the journal’s special edition on diabetes, where science meets advocacy. Through this collaboration, we’re highlighting how education, research, and compassion can come together to make a real impact in the diabetes community.

“Our mission has always been about reaching young people through education and awareness,” said Esabelle, TT12’s Founder. “Partnering with a scientific journal allows us to share reliable and accessible information to youth and future healthcare leaders so that they can understand diabetes better.”
