Welcome to Type1News.com, a periodic digest of advances in therapies and lifestyle strategies to cope with type 1 diabetes mellitus.

This site is designed to help the newly-diagnosed and their families understand the disorder. This information is aggregated by the parent of someone with type 1 who was surprised at how much there is to know and just how little help the medical community can be as families come to understand and deal with this condition. Timely commentaries on treatments and updates on our own experiences can be found in the blog section. Check it out now!

We hope you’ll use this site merely as a jumping-off point for your own exploration of the implications of type 1 diabetes. Good luck grappling with these changes in your life. We’re rooting for you!
