Did you know? Type 1 diabetes can be diagnosed at any age and requires constant decision-making every single day.

Although it used to be called ‘juvenile diabetes,’ that name no longer reflects reality—diagnosis isn’t limited to kids. In fact, over half of new diagnoses are in adults.

Awareness matters. 💙

In recognition of Autism Acceptance Month this April, we honor the neurodiverse members of our T1D community and the families who support them. 🧩

We’re excited to announce two incredible panelists joining us at the EPIC Diabetes Conference! 💙

Meet Brynn Lansford and Adam Abdin—both living with type 1 diabetes and redefining what’s possible every day.

Brynn, diagnosed at just 2½ years old, is now a commercial pilot inspiring others with T1D to chase big dreams and break barriers. ✈️
Adam, a law student, advocate, and recent competitor on The Amazing Race, brings a powerful message of resilience, discipline, and determination while managing T1D in high-pressure environments.

Join us for a special lunch panel where YOU’ll have the chance to hear their stories, gain insight, and ask questions. This is a conversation you won’t want to miss!
