Our Story
Founded in 2015
Beyond Type 1 is a nonprofit organization changing what it means to live with diabetes.
Through platforms, programs, resources and grants, Beyond Type 1 is uniting the global diabetes community and providing solutions to improve lives today.
Founded in 2015 with a focus on education, advocacy and the pathway to cures for type 1 diabetes, Beyond Type 1 has grown to also include programs for those with type 2 diabetes. A new model of philanthropy, Beyond Type 1 aims to change what it means to live with chronic illness.
By educating the global community and providing resources and support for those impacted by all types of diabetes, Beyond Type 1 is bridging the gap from diagnosis to cure, empowering people to live well today and funding a better tomorrow.
Launched in 2019
Beyond Type 2 is a place for everyone impacted by type 2 diabetes to share their stories, get connected to the community, and find resources on topics from daily management to mental health.
Launched in 2019, Beyond Type 2 is a program of the nonprofit organization Beyond Type 1.
Since its founding in 2015, Beyond Type 2 was part of our organization’s roadmap. The same approach that has made Beyond Type 1 successful has the power to disrupt diabetes more broadly and to improve the lives of those impacted by type 2.
Beyond Type 2 hopes to radically change what it means to live with type 2 diabetes. We aim to unite the global community and empower everyone living with type 2 to live beyond it. With the right resources, programs and power of our combined voices, we can redefine what it means to be a person living with diabetes—of any type.
