Adults with Type 1

Living with type 1 diabetes has been given a whole new definition! The JDRF Capitol Chapter is working to prove that diabetes is no longer what separates individuals from the rest of the crowd, but instead, what brings them together. The adults with type 1, or AT1, group focuses on bringing together adults living with type 1 as well as with their friends and family for socializing and networking.

The Capitol Chapter AT1 group meets once a month throughout the DC, southern Maryland and northern Virginia areas. If you would like to learn more about upcoming events or want to be on the AT1 mailing list,  contact Ali Umberger, Outreach Chair, at ali.umberger@gmail.com.

Join our group on Juvenation today and search for “AT1 Capitol Chapter” or click HERE!  This is where you will find our social networking site where you can see the latest up to date information about outings, post a question, or leave a comment!

Don’t forget to join our group on Facebook!

Also, if you haven’t seen an AT1 event in your area, it’s because we need your help! If you can assist with an event location or have an idea for the next social outings, please contact Ali with more information.

Thank you and we look forward to meeting you!
