We will post about more upcoming events soon.
Are you newly diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes?
If you are 18+ and within 100 days of diagnosis with T1D (or know someone who is), take a look at this clinical trial that is currently recruiting for participants! The study is looking at the impact of Ustekinumab, which delays the loss of β-cells and maintains a clinically relevant level of β-cell function in young adults with newly diagnosed with T1D. This is the link to learn more https://bcchr.ca/UST1D2.

Young & T1 
Congratulations on the new website! Brilliant
Thanks David!
I imagine Judy Darcy is thrilled that the younger people are speaking out on a healthcare issue. T1Ds should be marching in the streets over this issue and other issues such as the despicable treatment of people on welfare who don’t even get enough money for food or shelter. We can prevent poor health with preventative measures such as forcing employers to pay adequate wages to cover the cost of food, energy, housing and information services and bringing in a meaningful pharmacare programme that covers everyone’s costs when they develop a living threatening illness such as t1d.

This is a spectacular website you Young and T1’s and your supporters have developed. Your determination to advocate for pump support from the Ministry of Health beyond the age of 25 in BC is a vital healthy step in the right direction for T1’s and should be readily supported by all MLA’s as it will reduce overall provincial healthcare expenditures for years to come. As well, you most certainly display a dynamic activity based image for all of T1’s.
Truly impressed;
“55+ years as a T1 and a Pumper for over 15 years”
Thank you Ron! We’re thrilled with the opportunity to help the T1D community
Hey! I’m a newly diagnosed type 1 and got referred to your site. I don’t have facebook but would love to connect with others and attend some events. How do I go about this? I can’t find upcoming events on the website. Thanks so much 🙂 Nikki
