diabetics cannot access without outside intervention.
People with type 1 diabetes have bodies that do not produce the insulin necessary to utilize energy from glucose, and therefore can only survive by injecting the insulin they need. The constant monitoring and regulation of blood glucose levels is a never-ending, relentless balancing act that will continue until there is a cure. This pattern was entered in the Designs for Good design challenge, and was made to honor a dear friend, her son (who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes as a toddler), and their family.
