I am a Teen with T1D and will be attending TypeOneNation Summit for the first time. What can I expect?

For a second year, we will be offering a special Teen Track at our TypeOneNation Summit event for those teenagers ages 13-18. Facilitated by Shana Alexander, Psychologist, PsyD, this is a great opportunity to meet other teens with T1D. Topics will include: Managing T1D Socially, T1D and Sports, T1D and College. The goal of the Teen Track is to help connect teens who are living with T1D with each other, while supplying them with tools to help make life with T1D a little easier.

I am looking for other ways to connect with the T1D community. Any ideas?

Stay connected with those that you meet at the summit or expand your T1D network by joining one of our meet up groups!  Immediately, following the summit, the Type One Connect meet up group will be hosting a get together at The Officer’s Club lounge.  Friends, significant others, and family members 21+ are all welcome!
