Our goal is to spread awareness, share research-based education, and give families a place where they can learn, discuss and support each other.
Explore food ideas, meal-planning education and simple explanations to support informed conversations with your diabetes care team.
Read accessible introductions to beta cells, oxidative stress, polyphenols and the questions being explored in T1D research.

Discussion artwork illustrates a research question, rather than an established explanation of T1D.
Scientists continue to study beta-cell biology, environmental influences and the immune system. T1D is an autoimmune condition in which insulin-producing cells are damaged; ongoing research adds detail to our understanding of this process.
We explore oxidative stress and dietary polyphenols as research topics, while distinguishing early findings from proven treatments. Food education and community discussion do not replace insulin or an individual care plan.
