Information and resources for adults who are newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes can be an overwhelming time, regardless of age. Breakthrough T1D has resources to help you and your loved ones learn more about how to manage T1D, better adjust to your new normal and provide you connections to support.
The Breakthrough T1D Care Kit is a free resource providing information and tools to educate, support and inspire newly diagnosed adults with T1D.
Resources in your Breakthrough T1D Adult Care Kit include (but are not limited to):
- A diabetes supply bag.

- Resource folder which contains:
- An inspirational bookmark designed by Canadian artist and T1D mom Sandra Staple (www.canadiandragon.com).
