Breakthrough Pods

About

We’re excited to introduce Breakthrough Pods, a new monthly virtual support space designed to bring our type 1 diabetes (T1D) community together in a meaningful, low-pressure way.

Breakthrough Pods are cozy, welcoming chats where connection comes first. This is a space to share resources, celebrate bright spots, talk through challenges, and even spark ideas for future get-togethers. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have been navigating T1D for years, there is a place for you here.

Who is this for? 

Breakthrough Pods are open to individuals living with T1D and parents and caregivers of someone with T1D

Who’s leading the conversation? 

Pods will be facilitated by Martha Butcher, whose experience brings both heart and expertise:

• Former Parent Coach with a Master’s degree in Teaching
• Lives with T1D and is a parent of a child with T1D (Stage 2), who recently completed Tzield treatment at University Hospitals
• Joined Breakthrough T1D this winter as our Volunteer Lead Event Coordinator

When do we meet? 

The first Tuesday of every month on Zoom.

Join from your living room, your office, or even your car during lunch. We truly mean it when we say, we’ll meet you where you are.
