Type 1 Diabetes Resource Page

An estimated 1.5 million people are living with type 1 diabetes in the United States.

Type 1 diabetes demands a constant, tedious balancing act of insulin, activity and food. And even when everything is done perfectly, blood sugar levels can still be way off target.

To add to the challenge, the daily management necessities of type 1 diabetes are not well understood by the public, school personnel, work environments and many health care settings. This can result in feelings of discrimination and frustration on the part of people living with type 1, their families and advocates.

With the rapidly increasing prevalence of this lifelong condition, we will be seeing more type 1 diabetes in the outpatient and inpatient settings.  Diabetes educators will need to play a vital role in educating colleagues about type 1 and serving as advocates across the care continuum.

We hope you find this resource listing helpful and please let us know if other resources would benefit this page!
