The first few days/weeks/months of life with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are overwhelming. It’s during this time when it’s so important to build your support network.

That’s why the JDRF Mountain West Chapter started our Quarterly Newly Diagnosed Virtual Meetups!

Join JDRF staff and Outreach Ambassadors for a chance to connect with individuals and families who just get it. Staff will share the resources JDRF has to offer when it comes this new stage of life. Outreach Ambassadors will share their personal experiences of what life with T1D has looked like for them.

Newly Diagnosed Meetups are open to folks who are new to T1D, as well as the family and friends who love them, but they are also open to folks who have new questions about new stages of life with this disease.

We will meet online once a quarter on Tuesdays at 6pm MT. Registration for our first meetup of the year on Tuesday, March 19 is open now.
