June 7, 2026
Congenital Hyperinsulinism International (CHI) is excited to observe Global Hyperinsulinism Awareness Day on Sunday, June 7, 2026, for the third year in a row. We invite you to be part of this important global movement!
Together, we can raise awareness, share our stories, and shine a light on congenital hyperinsulinism (HI).
About the Campaign: “7 Things for June 7”
This year, we’re spreading awareness through a simple and powerful idea:
“7 Things for June 7”
It’s a fun, engaging way to tell the world about hyperinsulinism and the people it impacts, while building connection across our community.
How to Participate
We invite you to share 7 things about your journey with hyperinsulinism. You can include:
- Your personal experience living with/managing HI
- Your child’s story (if applicable)
- Daily challenges and triumphs
- What you wish others understood about HI
- Messages of hope, resilience, or advocacy
Don’t forget to include a photo!
Visuals help bring your story to life and make a powerful impact.
Optional: You’re also welcome to record your response as a short video. We would love to feature your voice!
Please send your responses with a photo (or video) and your/your child’s name to CHI Communications Associate Lily Barnett (lbarnett@congenitalhi.org).
Examples from Martina and Julie below:
Why This Matters

- Increase understanding of congenital hyperinsulinism
- Highlight the urgent need for earlier diagnosis and timely treatment
- Advocate for better therapies and research
- Build community among families, patients, clinicians, and supporters
Every story shared helps create a more informed and compassionate world.
