Breakthrough T1D Adult Care Kit
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):
-
- An insulated insulin kit to help you organize your diabetes supplies.
- Breakthrough T1D introductory guide to type 1 diabetes (T1D). Learn T1D basics, what you should know about blood glucose and insulin, how to educate others about T1D, and where to find more information.
- A copy of Bright Spots and Landmines – in this highly actionable guide, T1D columnist Adam Brown shares the food, mindset, exercise, and sleep strategies that have had the biggest impact on his diabetes—and hopefully yours, too!
- Information about Breakthrough T1D programming and how to get involved!
Please note the Adult Care Kit is only available for adults (age 18 and older) who reside in Canada. Live outside Canada?
