BT1D San Diego and Hawaiʻi

10/19/2026

🩵💙Newly diagnosed? Come meet people who get it.

A type 1 diabetes diagnosis can bring a lot of new routines, questions, and emotions. You don’t have to work through it without a community around you. Join Breakthrough T1D San Diego for a casual get-together for anyone new to type 1 diabetes (T1D). That includes families of kids and teens, adults who were recently diagnosed, and the people who support them. Meet others who know what these early days are like. Kids who come can connect, play, and meet others living with T1D.

No presentations. No agenda. No pressure. Just people connecting with people, because sometimes the most helpful thing is finding others who get it.

Come find your T1D village. We can't wait to welcome you.

📆 Sunday, October 25, 2026
🕒 3-5 p.m.
📍Novo Mission Valley
1640 Camino Del Rio N, Ste 341

Appetizers will be served. Drinks are available to buy at the bar. This get-together is for anyone getting used to a recent T1D diagnosis.
