As Touched by Type 1 steps into 2026, we’re launching a new year of Community Connections designed to bring people living with type 1 diabetes together at every stage of life. From Skate Night and Parents’ Night Out to Steps to a Cure and Golfing FORE Diabetes, this year’s calendar is built around one simple goal: helping people find their people.

As we close out our Silver Anniversary year, Touched by Type 1 is reflecting on 25 years of connection, advocacy, and impact within the type 1 diabetes community. From a record-setting Dancing for Diabetes sellout and the launch of Steps to a Cure, to thousands of D-Boxes delivered and the start of production on Beyond the Diagnosis, 2025 was a powerful reminder that no one has to face type 1 diabetes alone.

This Giving Tuesday, we’re reflecting on the power of generosity, community, and connection—and how giving helps ensure no one faces type 1 diabetes alone.

This blog explores why carbohydrate awareness matters, offers a quick reference guide to popular foods, and shows how families can honor tradition while managing blood sugar with confidence.
