Every two years, more than 160 children with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breakthrought1d.org\/t1d-basics\/\">type 1 diabetes<\/a> (T1D) between the ages of 4 \u2013 17 gather in Washington, D.C., to meet face-to-face with some of the top decision-makers in the U.S. Government. The selected Delegates represent all 50 states and the District of Columbia, as well as Breakthrough T1D\u2019s five International Affiliates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> As participants in Breakthrough T1D Children\u2019s Congress, Delegates have a unique and empowering opportunity to help Members of Congress understand what life with T1D is like, while forming lasting bonds with fellow youth who live with this autoimmune disease. Delegates form lifelong friendships, meet T1D role models, develop leadership skills, and leave Children\u2019s Congress empowered to use their voices for the change that will improve their lives and the lives of all people affected by T1D.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Meet Bella, 13:\u00a0<a
