Mission Statement
Type One Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, envisions a world free from the burden of type 1 diabetes (T1D). Central to our mission is the Type One Cares Campaign, which raises awareness and funds to support and empower those affected by T1D. We offer financial aid, support, education, and empowerment, guiding individuals to lead powerful lives beyond the diagnosis. We actively champion the life-changing research of the Faustman Lab at Massachusetts General Hospital, advancing toward a cure for T1D.

TYPE ONE FITNESS – IMPROVING DIABETES MANAGEMENT Research indicates that structured exercise and physical activity correlate with reduced blood glucose spikes in individuals with diabetes. One study found that higher daily step counts in individuals with type 1 diabetes resulted in milder blood glucose spikes after meals. Similarly, another study observed that implementing an afternoon exercise routine improved blood glucose control and reduced abdominal fat in men with type 2 diabetes. Moreover, physical activity offers broader health benefits beyond blood glucose control. Studies suggest that activity levels are associated with improved cardiovascular health in type 2 diabetes, reduced risk of dementia, and decreased healthcare costs later in life. NECESSITY OF DIABETES SUPPORT SERVICES – BRIDGING COMMUNITIES FOR BETTER CARE Support from family, friends, and community is crucial for managing diabetes effectively. While online resources like the American Diabetes Association and medical institutions offer guidance, our organization provides real-time support and education within the community. We offer aid for those with diabetes, as well as their caregivers, partners, siblings, and friends. Type One Fitness fills a gap by offering a dedicated space for non-medical support for type 1 diabetes. With our new facility, we can expand our reach, host support groups, and provide financial assistance for diabetes management. Managing diabetes requires costly healthcare, insulin, and supplies, but with proper support and education, individuals can better manage their condition and reduce the risk of long-term complications. THE TOLL OF NEGLECT – CONSEQUENCES OF POOR DIABETES MANAGEMENT Poor diabetes management can cause various adverse effects, including damage to blood vessels and nerves, raising risks of heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and vision problems. Neglected care may result in fatigue, infections, slow wound healing, nerve damage, and complications like foot ulcers and limb amputation. It can also impact mental health, leading to stress, anxiety, and depression. Effective management via medication, healthy habits, and regular monitoring is vital for preventing these complications and maintaining well-being. MAKING STRIDES – SUPPORTING THE TYPE 1 DIABETES COMMUNITY Our Type One Cares campaign truly makes a difference. It empowers individuals with type 1 diabetes through comprehensive support, education, and a strong sense of community. TYPE ONE CARES CAMPAIGN – SUPPORTING FAMILIES AFFECTED BY T1D The Type One Cares Campaign is an initiative dedicated to supporting families affected by type 1 diabetes (T1D). It aims to alleviate the financial burden often associated with managing T1D by providing scholarships and financial assistance. Through generous donations, the campaign offers support for expenses such as insulin supplies, summer camp tuition, and college scholarships for individuals living with T1D or those with a sibling affected by it. Additionally, the campaign seeks to raise awareness about T1D and funds for research toward finding a cure. THE TYPE ONE CARES CAMPAIGN – RELIEF. SUPPORT. HOPE T1D brings with it not just a daily fight for health – but often a heavy financial burden. The Type One Cares Campaign is our promise to ease that burden for families in need. Through generous donations, we offer scholarships and financial assistance to cover life-sustaining expenses – such as insulin, medical supplies, emergency care, travel to specialists, and more. We also provide scholarships for summer camps and higher education, giving children and teens with T1D opportunities to thrive and grow. Your support makes these efforts possible. Every donation provides critical aid today while helping us pursue a cure for tomorrow. EMPOWERING THOSE LIVING WITH T1D – ASSISTANCE FOR DIABETES MANAGEMENT COSTS Type 1 diabetes is a lifelong condition caused by the body’s inability to produce insulin. Managing it is a 24/7 responsibility – and without the right tools, the risk of serious complications like kidney failure or blindness is very real. Managing diabetes is costly, with new patients spending $1,400 on education and appointments. Pump Therapy offers better control but can cost up to $1,200 monthly. Children's insulin costs around $300 per month, and testing six to eight times a day adds up to $300 monthly. We provide financial assistance for qualifying individuals, as going without insulin is not an option. With your help, Type One provides the supplies, education, and care that make effective diabetes management possible. Early and consistent access to support dramatically reduces long-term risks and improves quality of life. T1D CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS – A LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCE Our camp scholarship program helps children with T1D attend local residential diabetes camps – safe, supportive environments where they can form friendships, build confidence, and develop crucial self-care skills. This summer, with your support, children across our region will experience the joy and empowerment of camp, despite the financial challenges their families may face. EDUCATIONAL SCHOLARSHIPS – BUILDING BRIGHTER FUTURES Each year, we award $1,000 Type One Cares Scholarships to graduating high school seniors who are living with T1D or have a sibling who is. These scholarships support their pursuit of higher education at colleges, universities, or technical schools – and reflect our belief that T1D should never stand in the way of a student’s dreams. FUELING RESEARCH – ADVANCING TOWARD A CURE We are honored to champion the work of the Faustman Lab at Massachusetts General Hospital, whose pioneering research is charting the path toward a cure. Supporting their progress means investing in a future where no child or adult has to endure the challenges of this disease. TYPE ONE FITNESS – MOVING TOWARD BETTER HEALTH Our commitment to health doesn’t stop at support and research – it extends into daily life. Type One Fitness, our inclusive wellness center, promotes movement and activity as vital tools for managing diabetes. Research shows that physical activity significantly improves blood sugar control and reduces long-term health risks in people with diabetes. From structured fitness programs to community-based wellness initiatives, we help individuals take charge of their health every day.
