Type 1 Diabetes for Beginners
David Norris
Tuesday, October 17, 2023
Many of us know firsthand that a new type 1 diabetes (T1D) diagnosis can be pretty overwhelming—at any age. Suddenly, families and individuals are thrown into a world of doctor’s appointments, inundated with complex medical terms, and forced to learn how to manage a life-long disease. A core part of our mission is to ensure JDRF can be there to support people on every step of that new and confusing journey.
Our Bag of Hope, which includes our special friend Rufus the Bear with Diabetes
®, is very familiar for many T1D families. But we also offer
No Limits Care Kits for teens ages 12-17 and adults, created specifically with newly diagnosed people in mind. Just like our Bag of Hope for newly diagnosed children, our No Limits Care Kits contain tools and resources that make a T1D journey a little smoother: our Begin with Hope introductory guide, a diabetes supply bag, and so much more to help connect you to people from all walks of life living with T1D.
