did you know?

Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) affects about 1 in 400 children, adolescents, 

and young adults under 20 years of age.

MORE ABOUT T1D

What's Type 1 Diabetes?

Autoimmune Reaction

Previously called insulin-dependent or juvenile diabetes, Type 1 Diabetes happens when one's body does not produce INSULIN, a type of hormone produced by the beta cells of the pancreatic islets that regulate the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. This is caused by an autoimmune reaction that results in the body attacking its own beta cells, triggered by unknown factors.

The Missing Key vs. The Broken Key

---Type 1 vs. Type 2 Diabetes---

  • Type 1 Diabetes happens when one's pancreas does not produce insulin or produces an insufficient amount of insulin. 
  • Type 2 Diabetes happens when one's body does not respond to insulin as well, which can often lead to the pancreas not producing enough insulin later in the disease. 


Who We Are

Justin's Cure is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded by Justin Hendler in honor of those affected by Type I Diabetes. Justin has been battling Type 1 Diabetes since the age of 10. Although life took an unexpected turn at a young age, Justin still managed to attend sleep-away camp as planned just six weeks after he was diagnosed, and Justin continues his journey with perseverance and hope.
