Community Table

 

Community Table is presented by the JDRF-Beyond Type 1 Alliance, and made possible with support from sponsors Abbott Diabetes Care, Dexcom, Lilly, Mannkind, Medtronic, Omnipod, Roche Diabetes Care, and Tandem.

 

Welcome to the Community Table! Every month, all year long, Beyond Type 1 will be hosting conversations around under-discussed issues facing the diabetes community, bringing to the table community members, experts, and healthcare providers. Throughout 2021, these conversations will focus specifically on commonalities, questions and difficulties that affect all of those living with diabetes, both Type 1 and Type 2. We’re excited and invite you to pull up a chair at the Community Table.

You can register to join each conversation via Zoom Webinar or catch it live streamed on Facebook. Sign up to HERE be a part of these conversations, and find topics listed below:
