The aim of this shortfilm is to increase awareness for Type 1 Diabetes symptoms and give confidence for teenagers that are newly diagnosed. It shows that you can achieve your dreams with Type 1 Diabetes if you get proper help. As a not diagnosed T1-Diabetes can be fatal, it is important to increase awareness.
