Grandparents of Kids with T1D: Caring Today, Curing Tomorrow

About

Are you a grandparent of someone living with type 1 diabetes (T1D)? Do you want to learn more about what they are experiencing and how you can help care for them? We invite you to join Breakthrough T1D’s upcoming event – Grandparents of Kids with T1D: Caring Today, Curing Tomorrow! 

As you well know, there is a lot involved in taking care of a child with T1D – from carb counting, to managing blood sugar, to understanding how insulin is absorbed in the blood stream. This virtual event will provide grandparents with the knowledge you need to help care for your grandchild living with T1D. Dr. Tariq Ahmad, a pediatric endocrinologist at UCSF Children’s Hospital Oakland, will review what living with T1D means and what grandparents need to know to care for a child with T1D. Kim Fisher, Chair of Research, Breakthrough T1D Northern CA Board of Directors, will review the very latest in T1D research – from prevention and cures, to advances in technology to make it easier to live with T1D. 

We hope you can join us for this informative session!
