Join us for our free one-day, in-person, educational summit event, bringing together all within the type 1 diabetes (T1D) community. Learn about research advances, participate in discussions with experts, and meet others living with or caring for someone with T1D. Educational sessions will be focused on T1D care and management and will be geared for different audiences. The summit will also include a vendor fair featuring industry and community partners, as well as Youth and Teen Program.
Youth and Teen Program
Our Youth and Teen Program is open to children with type 1 diabetes in kindergarten through 12th grade and their siblings. Children can expect various volunteer-led activities, crafts, games, and much more!
The Youth and Teen Program will run concurrently with the keynote and educational sessions. Please drop off your child(ren) by 9:15 a.m. in the Gloucester conference room on the third floor. The Youth and Teen Program will be closed for lunch from 12:15 – 1:15 p.m. and will reopen at 1:30 p.m.
Breakthrough T1D staff and volunteers, including licensed healthcare providers, are not permitted to treat high or low blood sugar. Parents / Caregivers will be contacted if their child needs help with their T1D management during the program.
