Community Table

Community Table is presented by the ADA x Beyond Type 1 Collab and the JDRF-Beyond Type 1 Alliance, and made possible with support from sponsors Abbott, Dexcom, Lilly Diabetes, Roche Diabetes Care, Sanofi, Tandem Diabetes Care, Mannkind and Vertex, active partners of Beyond Type 1 at the time of publication.

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 2022, 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:
