Our Mission

We are a non-profit organization supporting Type 1 diabetics and their families, while focused around 3 main pillars; education, support and community. We offer a year round type 1 (with new general diabetes wellness info) online summit free as a way to share important information to those living in rural areas or who may not have access to regular visits with specialists or other practitioners outside of the one they have seen since their diagnosis and nothing has changed. Second, we offer 24/7 support groups for POKED (parents of kids enduring Diabetes) with over 10k active members in a private group setting that is moderated by our non profit and accepts newly diagnosed families as a resource to hospitals discharging families with less and less access to resources and information to share these days due to so many other variables. Lastly community is a huge part of what enduring a chronic medical condition is about and so we pair and match mentors with newly diagnosed families and those in their immediate team helping (or circle of impact) to ensure they are not alone and they can weather this storm.
