Getting your diabetes supplies shouldn’t be so complicated and we’re here to help spread the word.

From prescription renewal timelines and insurance authorizations to communication gaps, we break down the biggest challenges and what you can do to stay ahead of them.

Anyone in the T1D community will walk away from this conversation not only more informed, but also empowered and validated.
