This past weekend, the MyT1DHero team attended the 2018 JDRF TypeOneNation Summit Teen Central in Belleville, Michigan. Teens at the summit helped MSU researchers design a story for their mobile app, MyT1DHero.

In addition to their story ideas, teens voted on different messages that they may use to chat with another teen with T1D. The messages included things like: "I'm proud of you," "It's normal to feel upset sometimes," and "You are more than a number."
