At just three years old, Aliyah was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Since then, she’s grown up navigating the daily realities of T1D: injections, blood glucose checks, constant decisions and the weight of managing a disease that never takes a day off.

There have been frustrating moments. But Aliyah has refused to let T1D stop her from pursuing the things she loves.

“I’ve learned how to channel my diabetes into strength instead of weakness. I hope to help drive the push for a cure, so that people like me can spend less energy surviving and more energy living.”

As a Breakthrough T1D Ride Ambassador, Aliyah is sharing her story because she wants others living with T1D to feel educated, empowered and inspired. And she’s riding for a future where no child has to grow up with T1D.

That’s the future we’re riding for! Join Aliyah and help power research breakthroughs that bring us closer to cures and a world free from T1D.

Dating and intimacy can bring unique experiences for young adults living with type 1 diabetes (T1D), and those experiences deserve to be understood.

Through a 2026 Breakthrough T1D Canada Mental Health & T1D Community Grant, Diabetes Hope Foundation is exploring what dating and intimacy really look like with T1D through a new survey.

If you’re a young adult living with T1D, your perspective can help shape future resources and support. 💜
