BT1D Indiana

10/15/2026

Merrill Harper, our Chapter Director, recently traveled to Lebanon, IN to tour Catalina Snacks, maker of Catalina Crunch, and see their 100,000-square-foot manufacturing facility. We're excited to welcome Catalina Crunch as a T1D Champion Sponsor of the Indianapolis Walk!

Catalina Crunch was founded by Krishna Kaliannan, who lives with type 1 diabetes. Catalina Crunch started from Krishna's desire to see more delicious snacks and cereals on the market that support low-sugar, low-carb, and gluten-free diets.

Join us on October 25 at the Indianapolis Walk to try some delicious samples and help us drive toward cures for T1D.

Throughout September, Marshalls stores ran a point-of-sale campaign to support Breakthrough T1D, and the community showed up. Many stores built displays that shared our mission with shoppers!

Our team visited local stores to say thanks in person (with treats, of course)! Every conversation at the register and every display helps make everyday life better for people facing T1D.

To the Marshalls teams and everyone who gave at checkout: thank you for being part of the breakthrough.

What do you know about C-peptide? This biomarker shows how much insulin the body is still making. It's become one of the key indicators that researchers use to test whether new disease-modifying therapies are working. Watch as we break down C-peptide, what levels can tell us, and why researchers are paying closer attention to it more than ever.
