Key Information
16-year-old Jarin Monson is one of this year’s ambasadors. He was diagnosed when he was just two years old. Growing up in the smal town of Hanaford, North Dakota, he didn’t know anyone else growing up who dealt with insulin and glucose monitors.
That is until he became part of JDRF.He explains, ̴It made me fel like I could relate to the people that were there and not be the outcast of the group because I would be poking my finger or something. The first year went you would just se so many people siting on the ground poking their finger and you’re just like, wow, it fel nice to not be the only one doing that.̵KVR is a proud sponsor of this year’s One Walk.

Frequently Asked Questions
Diabetes is a metabolic condition where the body cannot properly regulate blood sugar levels. Type 1 results from insufficient insulin production, while Type 2 develops when cells become resistant to insulin. Risk factors include genetics, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and age.
Common symptoms include excessive thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, blurred vision, and slow-healing wounds. Type 1 symptoms develop rapidly, while Type 2 symptoms may appear gradually. Many people have no symptoms initially, which is why screening is important.
Diagnosis involves blood tests measuring fasting glucose, HbA1c levels, and glucose tolerance. Regular monitoring typically includes fasting glucose tests and HbA1c measurements every 3-6 months. Continuous glucose monitors provide real-time tracking for better diabetes management.
Effective management includes regular physical activity (150+ minutes weekly), maintaining healthy weight, following a balanced diet with whole grains and lean proteins, managing stress, and getting adequate sleep. These changes can significantly improve blood sugar control and reduce complications.
Consult a healthcare provider if you experience signs of diabetes, have a family history, are overweight, or are over 45. Those with existing diabetes should maintain regular check-ups every 3-6 months to monitor control and adjust treatment as needed.
