For years Diane Bolton has pursued a goal she, and many others, are passionate about: to change the reality of type 1 diabetes (T1D) for millions of people-and to prevent anyone else from ever knowing it. Her connection to T1D started in 1949 when her mother, Irene Chamski-Salzman, was diagnosed at age 33. At the time, Irene was raising two active boys, Stanley and Stephen while also pregnant with Diane.
