Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin. Approximately 1.9 million American children and adults have Type 1 Diabetes. We participate in a variety of events and fundraisers to help better educate our community & spread awareness so that one day we find a cure.

At its core, proper type 1 diabetes management is composed of a handful of elements: blood glucose control and insulin management, exercise, nutrition and support. Knowing first-hand the intricacies of living with Type 1 Diabetes, the team at Touched by Type 1 has created the D-Box.
