Connecting the
Diabetes, Obesity, Metabolism and Complications Community
at Michigan

The 2021JDRF One Walk event will be held on October 3, 2021. To ensure the safety of the T1D community during the pandemic, JDRF will not hold their traditional walk this year. Instead there will be a celebratory T1D Tailgate at the EMU Rynearson parking lot. To comply with safety protocols everyone is asked to bring their own food and drink and to stay in their team's area. Whether you can participate in person or not you can still help us raise funds to support JDRF's mission to find better treatments, preventions and ultimately, a cure for type 1 diabetes (T1D) and its complications. Join the UM Caswell Diabetes Institute team today
