Yale Pediatric Diabetes Clinic at the CT Breakthrough T1D Walk

At Yale New Haven Children's Hospital's Yale Pediatric Diabetes Clinic, we know diabetes research is incredibly important. We have the privilege of being involved with the care of many families managing this chronic medical condition on a daily basis. While our families do an amazing job, we recognize the burden caused by having to continually monitor sugar levels and adjust insulin doses to achieve our glucose targets. This motivates us to conduct cutting edge research to create better treatments and technologies for diabetes care.

The need is ever growing for foundations to allow researchers to continue their efforts. Since its inception, Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF) has provided more than $2.5 billion for research, with our team at Yale receiving grants that support our groundbreaking work. Our work extends from the initial studies of insulin pump therapy in late 1970s to approval of the first disease modifying therapy.

Our mission aligns closely with that of Breakthrough T1D, as we are committed to "Accelerating life-changing breakthroughs to cure, prevent, and treat type 1 diabetes and its complications." That is why we are hoping you will join our team or support our efforts on Saturday, Oct. 3 at the Breakthrough T1D Walk at Old Grove Park in West Haven, CT. Together we can support the next innovations in care to make living with diabetes better today, while remaining steadfast in the goal to cure type 1 diabetes.
