Beyond Type 1

We had a jam-packed couple of days in Columbus, Ohio last week. On Thursday, we hosted a Thrive Out Loud event for our T2D audience and healthcare providers at the Center of Science and Industry Museum. During this event, we held Honesty Hour, where participants could anonymously ask questions and share admissions about their experiences with diabetes. Then, on Saturday at ADCES, Beyond Type 1's Social Impact Director, Melanie Batchelor, along with Regional Sanofi Leader, Sapna Bhambhani, presented the findings of Sanofi's "The Family Factor Survey". Their presentation highlighted the key findings from the survey and the implications of those findings on the families affected.

Today, Novo Nordisk announced the launch of Awiqli, which is the first once-weekly basal insulin. This will dramatically reduce the number of injections for those living with type 2 diabetes. Read more about the launch here:

Our innovation grantee, Morehouse School of Medicine, recently made a powerful impact at the 25th Annual Chattanooga Wellness Expo at The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Arena. Dr. Ervin, the H.E.A.L. (Health Equity for All Lives) Clinic team and student volunteers joined forces with Dr. Panda to support the More in Common Alliance. The key highlights: - Vital Health Assessments: Provided health screenings for over 80 community members - Empowering Resources: Distributed our Beyond Diagnosis guides for those newly diagnosed, which saw incredible success among community members. - Student Leadership: MSM student volunteers excelled at engaging attendees and bringing health education directly to the public. "It was a rewarding opportunity to strengthen our connection with the community through service and health education." Thank you to Morehouse, the H.E.A.L. clinic team, Dr. Ervin, Dr. Panda, and all the student volunteers for making a difference in community health and health education! #HealthEquity #HealthEducation #PublicHealth #Type2Diabetes

San Diego got screened!🩸This past weekend, over 800 people learned more about type 1 diabetes and 200+ were screened for autoantibodies. Healthcare does not begin and end in a doctor’s office. Trusted voices and accessible community spaces can play a critical role in helping families understand their risk and take the next step. Almost 90% of people diagnosed with type 1 diabetes have no family history of the disease. T1D can affect anyone at any age. A simple blood test can help identify risk before symptoms appear and reduce the chance of a dangerous diagnosis, plus open the door to therapies that could help delay the onset. Thank you to King of the Hill Foundation, Padres Foundation, San Diego Padres and Sansum Diabetes Research Institute for their partnership! Shout out to Dexcom for giving Stelos to the first 200 screened to help them understand their glucose 💛 And thank YOU for showing up for early detection!
