Johnpeter Mwolo was 15 when he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.
His body, unable to produce the hormone critical for regulating blood sugar, would now rely on manufactured insulin. He learned to give himself the treatment — four injections a day.
But as he was growing up in Tanzania, insulin was expensive and not always available.
