Type One Nation, Coming Your Way!
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) carries with it a huge emotional toll, but doctors are not always akin to the psycho-social ties that come with T1D. TypeOneNation Summits are designed to provide information for people of all ages and stages of T1D and their loved ones.
During these full-day events, you’ll enjoy inspirational and educational activities lead by national and local experts to help you and your family better manage life with T1D. You’ll have the opportunity to participate in discussion groups, share your story, and help motivate and support others who walk in similar shoes.
JDRF chapters across the country hold TypeOneNation Summits at various times of year.
If you live on our neck of the woods (greater Philadelphia area) here is the info:
