Breakthrough T1D Greater Dallas Chapter is delighted to introduce Lyndsay Wright, MA, RD/LD.  She is the facilitator for our new social network of support, “The Club.”   We are so thrilled to have Lyndsay on board and know she will offer so much to our families. 

Hello Breakthrough T1D Dallas!  I am so pleased to have the opportunity to work with Breakthrough T1D families through the type 1 diabetes (T1D) support group.  Growing up in a home where several family members have T1D, I am no stranger to the need for the knowledge, love and support that it takes to dodge the curveballs diabetes can throw. It is my hope that through this group, The Club, families can gather to share stories, tips and experiences that will empower Breakthrough T1D Dallas community members until we succeed in finding a cure. As many of us know, when your family lives with T1D, you gain membership into a very special club, indeed!

Professionally, I work as a Registered Dietitian and Diabetes Educator. Personally, I enjoy volunteering for various diabetes-related programs including Breakthrough T1D and T1D summer camp in Oklahoma. Diabetes is a great passion of mine, and I am looking so forward to meeting with all of you…see you soon at The Club!
