This is the story about Bruno Carrattini, a young man from Uruguay who has been living with a non-communicable disease (NCD), type 1 diabetes, for 12 years. Today, Bruno has the knowledge and tools needed to have control over the disease, but this was not always the case. Bruno comes from a big family – he and his twin brother are the youngest of seven siblings. His mother is a public school teacher who always made sacrifices to support their family and his father, who was a public servant, died of a brain tumor when Bruno was 16 years old. This tragedy forced Bruno to start working at a young age to contribute to his household’s income since the family was practically bankrupt. But he never left school; Bruno continued to work hard to graduate from high school while helping his family, until one year later, when he turned 17, and Bruno was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.
