This page was created exclusively for research purposes only. Its primary goal is to serve as an official platform for participant recruitment.

Through this page, we are extending an open invitation to eligible young adults diagnosed with T1DM who currently reside in Baguio City and meet the other inclusion criteria of our study.
Participation is entirely voluntary, and all information shared will be kept strictly confidential in accordance with ethical research standards.

“Every lived experience tells a story that numbers alone cannot explain.”

This study aims to give voice to young adults living with T1DM by highlighting their personal experiences, challenges, and perspectives. By listening to their stories, we aim to contribute meaningful insights that may help improve awareness, care, and support for individuals with T1DM in the community.
