The TCOYD ONE Conference and Retreat is a one-of-a-kind weekend experience in paradise that brings together adults with type one diabetes (T1D) and their loved ones, diabetes specialists, physicians and researchers from around the world for a weekend of education, motivation and connection within the type 1 community.

Due to immense support from TCOYD, these young adults are able to attend this life-changing weekend and gain lifelong connections, support and tools to help them better care for their T1D.

“Community is the best thing that diabetes ever gave me, and conferences like TCOYD ONE conference make life with diabetes easier, healthier and filled with hope,” said Carmen Dunlap, a CDN Chapter President and student member who will be attending the conference this August.
