Our mission at Tyler Type One Diabetes Foundation is to build a vibrant and lasting local support system for the Type 1 community in Tyler and East Texas. It is our hope that this support will better equip those with Type 1 diabetes to live longer, healthier lives and reduce the risk of complications. We serve children, teens, adults and families living with Type 1 diabetes.
The Tyler Type One Diabetes Foundation was formed by family and friends of the Type 1 community in Tyler, TX in order to support one another in the daily challenges associated living with Type 1 diabetes.
When possible, we reach out to those who are newly diagnosed within 24-48 hours with practical assistance and guidance, educational classes, monthly support groups, social networking and special events that bring awareness.
