There is still room for a few more to join us tomorrow! Send in your RSVP ASAP!

📣 Family Support Group Update!

Our Family Support Group is going to look a little different this month — we’re meeting on a Saturday!

We know so many of our families are right in the middle of graduation season, and since our June zoo trip is usually so hot, we decided to move things up and enjoy the zoo before the summer heat really settles in.

Join us at Caldwell Zoo in Tyler on Saturday, May 30 at 9:00 AM for a fun morning together with other Type 1 families. 🐒🦁🐘

Because we have to purchase tickets ahead of time, please RSVP as soon as possible — and definitely by Thursday, May 28.

We can’t wait to spend the morning with you!

Even though tomorrow is Mother’s Day, we are still meeting for our Adult Type One Gathering! 💙

Living with Type 1 Diabetes can feel isolating at times, and having a community that understands the highs, lows, victories, and frustrations makes such a difference. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, have lived with T1 for years, or just need a night to connect with people who “get it,” we’d love to see you.

Join us tomorrow, Sunday, May 10 at 6 PM for food, fellowship, encouragement, and conversation with other adults living with Type 1 Diabetes.

Bring a friend with T1 and come hang out with us! We can’t wait to see everyone.

“When my husband was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in his early 30s, our world was turned upside down…”

This is why we do what we do. 💙

Behind every program, every support group, and every connection is a real family navigating a life they never expected. And because of this community, they don’t have to do it alone.

Stories like this remind us that Tyler Type One isn’t just a resource—it’s a lifeline.

Today, on East Texas Giving Day, you have the opportunity to be that lifeline for another family.

Friendship changes everything. 💙

What once felt scary becomes a whole lot lighter when you don’t have to face it alone—and that’s exactly what happens through Tyler Type One.

From support groups to diabetes camp, real friendships are formed—and those connections make all the difference for kids learning to live with Type 1 diabetes.

Today is East Texas Giving Day, and your gift helps create more moments like this—where fear turns into confidence, and strangers become lifelong friends.

Because no child should have to do this alone.
