Andrew Ziegler was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was 10 years old. It gave him a remarkable sense of clarity, even at such an early age.

When Andrew sat with Humanitou, he shared about his experience to enlighten many of us who simply don’t understand what diabetes is and how living with it works.

He also talked about advocacy for those without privilege to gain access to … well, life. And he gave a glimpse into his poetry and its power to convey a critical message.
