The resolution recognizes and commends nine-year-old Meg Gentry from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, for her exceptional advocacy efforts in raising awareness about Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) following her own diagnosis in January 2022. Despite the challenges posed by this lifelong autoimmune disease, Meg has demonstrated remarkable determination and positivity, using her experience to educate her community about T1D and promote early awareness and prevention of its complications. Her advocacy includes serving as a Breakthrough T1D Children's Congress Ambassador, where she represented Alabama in Washington, D.C., and successfully petitioned for the city of Tuscaloosa to illuminate landmarks in blue for World Diabetes Day.

Meg's initiatives, such as organizing "Put a Cap on Diabetes Day" at her school and participating in fundraising walks, have significantly contributed to the T1D community. Supported by her family and friends, her fundraising team, "Meg's Mania," raises funds for critical research initiatives. The resolution concludes by acknowledging Meg's inspiring example of courage and resilience, affirming that her accomplishments bring credit to herself, her family, her community, and the State of Alabama, and formally commending her for her dedication to increasing awareness of Type 1 Diabetes.
