T1D parents… this month, we’re giving the awards t T1D parents… this month, we’re giving the awards to YOU. 🏆

For the things you do every single day that often go unnoticed:
Keeping your child safe.
Keeping supplies stocked.
Showing up for your other kids.
Staying present at work.
Waking up in the middle of the night.
Making hundreds of decisions no one else sees.

You don’t have to have a “perfect” diabetes day to be doing an incredible job.

TK.Type 1 lives by one belief: no family should ever have to navigate T1D alone. 🫂

T1D affects every aspect of life, especially for children, and managing it can feel overwhelming. Thriving with T1D requires more than insulin—it requires education, technology, resources, and support.

That’s where TK.Type 1 steps in.

From diabetes coaching and T1D summer camps to CGMs and life-saving insulin, we provide financial assistance to help individuals and families access the resources they need to live fully with T1D.

Because families should be able to focus on living life—not just managing diabetes. 🙌

This is why the work we do at TK.Type 1 matters so This is why the work we do at TK.Type 1 matters so much. 🩵

When Cathy began coaching in November 2025, her daughter, Chloe, had been living with T1D for about a year and was spending around 52% of her time in range.

⏩Now? Her time in range is consistently around 75% — but the numbers are only part of the story.

Cathy’s family gained practical tools, more confidence, more sleep, and ultimately, more freedom. 

And thanks to a TK.Type 1 scholarship & coaching with @riselyhealth , Cathy’s family was able to access that support when it otherwise wouldn’t have been financially possible.

This is why we do what we do. Because access to the right support can change more than numbers—it can change how an entire family experiences life with T1D. 🫶

That’s exactly why TK.Type 1 exists. We know how expensive, complicated, and exhausting T1D can be for families — and you shouldn’t have to navigate it all alone.

We’re here to help T1D families find the resources, support, and information they deserve. 🫶

Behind every Type 1 diabetes diagnosis is a person, a family, and a whole new world to navigate—filled with numbers, alarms, decisions, expenses, and uncertainty.

The families featured in this post remind us exactly why TK.Type 1 exists: to make sure people living with T1D and their families have access to the financial support, education, and personalized coaching they need to feel more confident and empowered. 

From helping cover essential diabetes supplies like insulin and CGMs to providing 1-on-1 diabetes management coaching, we’re here to help families spend less time worrying about the burdens of T1D and more time living their lives.
