Kassidey Short, a UW student with Type 1 diabetes, realized there was no support group for students like her on campus. She teamed up with Andy Zeiger, another UW student who was recently diagnosed, to start the first Type 1 diabetes support group at UW. The group aims to provide community for students to discuss managing their chronic illness. Short was diagnosed at age 5 while Zeiger received his diagnosis just last year. Together they are working to create a support system for UW students dealing with diabetes.
