Only 75 seats are available for this intimate session.

Here's what we're getting into during the evening!

The We Live This Session: Drs. Edelman, Pettus and Gregory get it because they are living with T1D themselves and have children at risk. It’s a candid look at the emotional issues around screening your loved ones.
The Silent Engine Fire: How to identify the damage under the hood before a diagnosis becomes an emergency, talk about the facts of T1D, and what’s happening in the body in terms of disease progression, e.g., autoantibodies, immune attack, and blood sugar level fluctuations.
Stage 2 – Delaying Progression: Discuss the importance of delaying insulin-dependent type 1 diabetes in appropriate patients.
The Unfiltered Version: Hear candid stories from real people who have gone through the process of delaying insulin-dependent T1D
Open Q&A Session: No filtered topics or scripted answers—just the facts about screening and disease modifying therapies.
Connect with Your People Over Tacos: You’ll be in a room full of families and T1Ds navigating these same decisions. And honestly the best conversations always happen over food, so the Taco Love Truck will be on-site to keep things going long after the Q&A wraps.
