Maas was diagnosed with type one diabetes when she was seven years old and was selected by the ADA to be an advocate for people with diabetes. She has gone to D.C. three times as an advocate and has called on members of congress for funding to find a cure, technology and transparency with insulin prices.

The thought of juggling dance, soccer, track and cross country may sound like a lot of work for a 14 year old, but Jemtegaard Middle School student Paige Maas makes it work.
Paige not only enjoys these sports, they are her way of doing everything possible to live a healthy life while maintaining her Type 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile or insulin-dependent diabetes, says Paige’s father, Brad Maas.
