#KnowledgeDrop Expert Video Series

The #KnowledgeDrop series is made possible with support from Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, an active partner of Beyond Type 1 at the time of publication. Editorial control rests solely on Beyond Type 1.

During Diabetes Awareness Month 2019, Beyond Type 1 aired live conversations every week in November with diabetes experts covering key areas impacting everyone with type 1 diabetes. These Facebook Live chats provided an in-depth look at key topic areas in diabetes, including: mental health for people with type 1 diabetes, the future of diabetes care, diabetic ketoacidosis + ketone management and going beyond A1C with new ways of measuring management.
