What We Are Doing
We spent a great amount of time simply defining our concerns and fears. And then we looked at solutions and tools to help us live our best lives into old age, with safety and confidence.
Our team includes T1Ds, researchers, and healthcare professionals. We are driven to find the best answers to aging gracefully with diabetes. Together, we bring over 942 years of collective T1D wisdom and experiences!
We are looking to the research community to validate our solutions and then share them with other T1Ds, our medical teams, our diabetes educators, and our loved ones.
Up until now, there has been very little attention paid to our aging T1D demographic. We need to call attention to our needs and help to effect changes in our care, knowledge within the caregiving community and information about our changing needs as we age. Please join us to make an impact in all our lives and diabetes care.
