When your child receives a diagnosis of T1D, it can be an overwhelming time. As you navigate this challenging period of adjustment to life with T1D, you can find helpful information and support through the Breakthrough T1DTM Bag of Hope.
The Breakthrough T1DTM Bag of Hope is filled with useful resources for children and teens who have been diagnosed with T1D and their caregivers. Along with educational materials, we’ve included a special friend for children — Rufus, the Bear with Diabetes® — to show your child that they are not alone while learning to take shots and test blood sugar.
