All those newly diagnosed or new to Breakthrough T1D are invited to meet others in the T1D community, get advice and tips on building your diabetes support team, and learn how Breakthrough T1D can be a part of your team! Hear from volunteers about the power of the T1D community and how you can impact Breakthrough T1D’s mission through the Breakthrough T1D One Walk program. Our featured guest speaker is Dr. Christine H. Wang, a postdoctoral psychology fellow at Children’s National Hospital.
