From Screening Her Children to Starting Tzield: Chris Dunn’s Type 1 Diabetes Journey
Chris Dunn is no stranger to type 1 diabetes (T1D). Her son Nolan was diagnosed at two years old, and her daughter, Patsy, followed at age four. Having two young children with type 1 is hard for many to imagine. It’s the reason many parents push the idea of screening aside, but Dunn said it was the best decision she’s ever made. Through early detection, she discovered she carries T1D autoantibodies and has started Tzield, a disease-modifying therapy, to delay onset.
