“This is just an incredible undertaking. I absolutely love the way it is written, the message it sends, and the very practical information it provides. And I love the drawings! They remind me of super hero stuff, which describes Jared perfectly! The most important part is that Jared talked about so many issues that are a vital part of diabetes. Please tell him that I think he did the most wonderful job (and I’m not just saying this – I really mean it) and that I’m proud to be a part of his healing team!”

​” What a tremendous gift the Team Helping book is to all newly diagnosed kids and families lucky enough to find this gem! I was diagnosed in 1980 and something like this would have been fabulous to help me and my family adjust! The story makes understanding diabetes so simple. The colorful and playful illustrations are fabulous. It touches also on the importance of reaching out to others to build a community, to counteract the painful loneliness that newly diagnosed families often feel. The idea to get this book to all newly diagnosed families is sheer brilliance. A huge thank you to this family for your vision for it, and your time and efforts to create it! “

​What are Virtual Attendees Saying About The Summit?​

I live 300 miles from my Endocrinologist and over 150 miles from my doctor. I feel distant and like I have never had a type 1 community. Wearing my bracelet after attending this summit has reminded me a few things. First, it reminds me of all the new things I learned at the T1 Summit and for that I am so grateful, I have already started taking small steps and am feeling better, and second, I feel less alone and feel like this organization and support groups as well as summit have been guardian angels. I also have been set up with a new mentor and we can speak and I never expected to make that kind of connection. I am so thankful to Diabetes and Me.”

I was so impressed with the Virtual Online T1 Summit. I didn't know what to expect since it was free. After listening to the first few speakers, I knew the value and was ready to donate knowing that this is something worth ensuring everyone has equal access to and that is what the donations do. I researched the charity to find that all money goes back to funding the education, support and community. Thank you Diabetes and Me for ensuring that people with Diabetes like me and so many others have access to education, new information and helping build a link to a community with others living daily with Type 1 diabetes just like me."
