Are you struggling with any of the following?

Feeling unsure of how to best guide and support your child as they adjust to life with T1D in the midst of being a “normal” kid

Finding backpacks and bedside table drawers full of empty candy bar wrappers that you're pretty sure weren't covered by insulin

Walking on egg shells because your kiddo blows up on you when you ask about blood sugars (or for some other reason which may or may not have nothing to do with T1D)

Figuring out when and how to get your child or teen to take on important diabetes-related tasks, including when to step in and when step back

Participants will gain the insight and skills to:

Offer support & empower your child to take ownership of T1D at a pace that works for them and for you

Resolve conflict without nagging, hurting, alienating or feeling guilty

Implement strategies to promote cooperation and make the completion of T1D tasks smoother and less stressful

Handle dishonesty around skipping BG checks &/or taking insulin

Cope & help your child cope with “Diabetes Burnout” and the Hi’s and Lo’s of life with T1D

Thinking about coming? Get a feel for what you're in for by learning about the ConnecT1D Adult Retreat (aka diabetes camp for grown ups) in years past from our slide show!

If you've been with us before, we are so happy to have you as a part of our community. If you were not there, well, let this be encouragement to join us this year!

The Adult Retreat in 2019 began with a ferry ride to Bainbridge, followed by a welcoming and meaningful keynote from Jake Johnston. Then there were workshops on research, technology, how we define ourselves and push ourselves. We learned, laughed and got to know each other. After dinner, some danced at the casino, others played games by the fire and some just relaxed in the really nice digs at the Suquamish Resort. The next day early morning yoga was followed by breakout sessions to share about life with T1D. There were raffle prizes galore at the weekend wrap up. We got to know each other even better and had to say goodbye to new friends. What stays is a sense of belonging to a community that gets us.

Lauren’s Hope reinvented medical alert jewelry in 2001. Over the last 20 years, we’ve perfected the art of conveying your personal medical info to first responders through stylish medical alert bracelets, medical ID necklaces and medical dog tags. Wearing your medical information is a great way to alert others with your details which can help prevent an event from turning into a life-threatening emergency.

First responders are trained to check your wrist and neck for medical alert jewelry. All of our medical ID designs incorporate the medical caduceus symbol which is easily recognized. This symbol is what alerts first responders to your custom engraved emergency ID. Engraving the details that are relevant to your personal medical status is what matters most when choosing which pieces you want to own. Our medical ID tags hold up to 6 lines of engraving with 25 characters per line allowing you to inscribe what matters most.

You can read our engraving guide for more information about what to engrave.

We offer medical ID jewelry that suits every lifestyle. Our range includes durable 24/7 waterproof medical alert necklaces and bracelets, stylish and on-trend medical ID jewelry as well as a full line of med ID bracelets that are designed to help those who have trouble putting jewelry on and off by themselves.

Lauren’s Hope is located in America’s heartland and available to answer any questions you may have. Each piece comes with a ONE YEAR WARRANTY, and resize service if needed. Our hope is that anyone who needs to wear a medical alert bracelet finds the one that makes them feel safe and comfortable everyday. We believe that the best medical ID is the one you want to wear.
