I had the pleasure of learning about the important work of the Type 1 Better team and it is incredibly valuable to our research community and all Canadians living with #T1D . Congratulations!

And this afternoon at #ICIC24 I shared how we partnered with people with lived experience to recruit participants to co-design an integrated #MentalHealth & #Type1Diabetes program.

Special thanks to JDRF Canada, Brain Canada, & Diabetes Action Can.!

Stay tuned for that paper, too.
