Stories of Help and Hope

Yudi Rubin’s journey with Type 1 diabetes began nearly 80 years ago, when he was just 10 years old. After falling ill with an unidentified virus, he was hospitalized and soon fell into a diabetic coma. It was during that hospital stay that he received his first insulin treatment and was officially diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.

Despite the challenges, Yudi’s early experiences helped shape his resilience, and he was recently honored with an 80-year medal from the Joslin Diabetes Center.
