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. TYPE ONE EMPOWERING THOSE WITH T1D – WITH YOUR SUPPORT Living with type 1 diabetes presents lifelong challenges due to the pancreas ceasing insulin production. Balancing insulin doses with daily activities is crucial but doesn't prevent serious complications like kidney failure or blindness. Your support helps Type One improve the quality of life for those with T1D through essential resources and assistance. ASSISTANCE FOR DIABETES MANAGEMENT COSTS 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. T1D CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS Partnering with the Barton Center for Diabetes Education, we offer scholarships for local children with type 1 diabetes to attend a week of residential camp in the summer. EDUCATIONAL SCHOLARSHIPS We award ten $1,000 scholarships to graduating high school seniors in the South Shore community, supporting their advanced studies at any college, university, or technical institution. ADVANCING TOWARD A CURE We champion the groundbreaking research of the Faustman Lab at Massachusetts General Hospital as they pave the path toward a cure for type 1 diabetes, changing lives in the process. SPONSOR AN EVENT A Type One sponsorship is more than a financial donation – it's a partnership to expand our mission. Show commitment and support our event's success by sponsoring Type One, providing a platform for families to unite in honor of loved ones living with T1D. Thank you for helping us raise awareness and funds for research, supporting our community, and working toward finding a cure. SUPPORTING FAMILIES AFFECTED BY TYPE 1 DIABETES – YOUR IMPACT Every dollar raised and every effort made supports individuals and families grappling with type 1 diabetes. This disease doesn't just affect the individual; it impacts their entire support network. Managing type 1 diabetes is relentless and overwhelming. Your support enables us to fund crucial research, provide essential resources, and offer training and support to those in need. We believe in the power of changing lives, one at a time, to make a global impact. With a decade-long track record and unwavering vision, we strive to make a difference. But none of this would be possible without your generous support.
