The mission of Touched by Type 1 is to elevate awareness of Type 1 Diabetes, raise funds to find a cure and inspire those with diabetes to thrive. If you, a child or a loved one has been recently diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, there is a lot of important information to digest and you will no doubt be making many updates to your daily life. At Touched by Type 1, as part of our mission, we support

those with Type 1 Diabetes to live active and healthy lifestyles. At its core, proper type 1 diabetes management is composed of a handful of elements: blood glucose control and insulin management, exercise, nutrition and support. Knowing first-hand the intricacies of living with Type 1 Diabetes, the team at Touched by Type 1 has created the D-Box. Order your D-Box by going to: https://www.touchedbytype1.org/d-box/

Every mile tells a story, and Andy Kramer's is one worth following. 🚴💙

Beginning August 20, Andy will set off on an incredible journey, cycling 3,791 miles from Portland, Oregon, to Portland, Maine through P2P4T1D (Portland to Portland for Type 1 Diabetes).

After being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in 2020, Andy chose to transform his experience into a mission that gives back. His ride will raise awareness for T1D while supporting Diversity in Diabetes' Virtual Diabetes Education Program, helping expand access to diabetes education and support for individuals and families who need it most.

At Touched by Type 1, we're proud to celebrate members of our diabetes community who use their stories to inspire others and create meaningful change.

Join us in cheering Andy on throughout every mile of his journey.

One conversation can change everything. 💜

In this episode of Touched by Type 1 Conversations, our youth host asks a simple but powerful question:

"If you could have one conversation with the world about diabetes, what would it be?"

The answer is a reminder of something so many in the type 1 diabetes community already know: you're never alone. Community matters, and the connections built through shared experiences can make all the difference.
