One day you are suddenly trying to learn an entirely new language of numbers, devices, food decisions, and constant what-ifs. For many people, the hardest part is not only the information overload, but the feeling that you are navigating it alone.<\/p>\n<p>That is why the free <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breakthrought1d.org\/nevada\/events\/communitysummit\/\">Breakthrough T1D Community Summit<\/a> exists. It brings the T1D community together for learning, support, and real connection.<\/p>\n<h3>Teri&#8217;s Experience<\/h3>\n<p>As I approach my two-year diaversary this coming April, I can\u2019t help but reflect on my journey as a person living with type 1 diabetes.<\/p>\n<p>Like many, I was thrown into this new lifestyle quite suddenly\u2014thrust into a world of unknowns and the fears that come with a new diagnosis. My hospital experience and first visit to the pharmacy did little to instill confidence in what I was supposed to be doing or how to manage what lay ahead. So I did what I do best: I researched.<\/p>\n<p>My husband and I were already familiar with fundraising and support organizations through our shared experience with the Leukemia &amp; Lymphoma Society, so I assumed there must be similar resources for people living with type 1 diabetes. Knowing I was in over my head and needing support while waiting to see an endocrinologist and diabetes educator, I began searching for both information and community.<\/p>\n<p>Online, I found the American Diabetes Association and Breakthrough T1D. Initially, I wasn\u2019t sure Breakthrough T1D was for me\u2014like many people, I had long associated the organization (formerly JDRF) primarily with children and families. Still, I signed up for newsletters, checked the boxes for advocacy and events, and hoped for the best.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Just a few weeks later, I learned about an upcoming Summit with speakers and vendors. The timing couldn\u2019t have been better.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>At the Summit, I attended educational sessions, spoke with vendors, and gathered valuable information. I also met another adult living with type 1\u2014someone who has since become a friend I now see socially. Not long after, an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breakthrought1d.org\/nevada\/p\/snvadultgroup\/\">Adult Connection group<\/a> was formed, meeting monthly, and a small group of us gradually became friends. That group continues to grow, and I deeply value the conversations we share\u2014whether while volunteering or simply spending time together at organized events and meetups.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, the Summit provided more than the initial information and resources I was seeking as a newly diagnosed adult with type 1. It led to connection, community, and lasting friendships with people who truly understand this life. I am grateful for the local Breakthrough T1D chapter and all they do to support our community\u2014and grateful that I checked that box to attend the Summit as I began navigating my new normal with type 1 diabetes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-16616\" src=\"https:\/\/www.breakthrought1d.org\/nevada\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/119\/2026\/01\/11.15.25-JDRF-Walk-Event-251.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"478\" height=\"318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.breakthrought1d.org\/nevada\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/119\/2026\/01\/11.15.25-JDRF-Walk-Event-251.jpg 9157w, https:\/\/www.breakthrought1d.org\/nevada\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/119\/2026\/01\/11.15.25-JDRF-Walk-Event-251-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.breakthrought1d.org\/nevada\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/119\/2026\/01\/11.15.25-JDRF-Walk-Event-251-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.breakthrought1d.org\/nevada\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/119\/2026\/01\/11.15.25-JDRF-Walk-Event-251-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.breakthrought1d.org\/nevada\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/119\/2026\/01\/11.15.25-JDRF-Walk-Event-251-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 478px) 100vw, 478px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-16617\" src=\"https:\/\/www.breakthrought1d.org\/nevada\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/119\/2026\/01\/IMG_0252-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"476\" height=\"357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.breakthrought1d.org\/nevada\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/119\/2026\/01\/IMG_0252-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.breakthrought1d.org\/nevada\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/119\/2026\/01\/IMG_0252-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.breakthrought1d.org\/nevada\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/119\/2026\/01\/IMG_0252-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.breakthrought1d.org\/nevada\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/119\/2026\/01\/IMG_0252-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.breakthrought1d.org\/nevada\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/119\/2026\/01\/IMG_0252-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.breakthrought1d.org\/nevada\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/119\/2026\/01\/IMG_0252-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 476px) 100vw, 476px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>What to Expect at the Community Summit<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breakthrought1d.org\/nevada\/events\/communitysummit\/\">Breakthrough T1D Community Summit<\/a> brings together the local T1D community.
