Type One Cares Campaign

Type One Cares is dedicated to expanding and improving our support for individuals and families affected by type 1 diabetes in the South Shore community of Massachusetts. Our commitment involves providing crucial funding for type 1 diabetes research to work toward finding a cure. Additionally, we strive to ensure that those living with the disease receive the necessary support and resources to not only survive but also thrive and pursue their aspirations.

At Type One Fitness, we actively promote long-term lifestyle changes by emphasizing the importance of exercise and nutrition for overall well-being. Our unique features, services, and amenities are designed to empower individuals to make positive and lasting changes in their lives.

We offer a range of exercise options, including aerobic and anaerobic activities, strength and flexibility training, and cardio exercises like running, jogging, or brisk walking. These activities not only provide health benefits but also contribute to an improved quality of life for those who participate.

For those living with diabetes, the advantages of regular exercise are significant. Exercise contributes to weight management, lowers blood pressure, reduces harmful LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, increases healthy HDL cholesterol, strengthens muscles and bones, alleviates anxiety, and enhances general well-being. Specifically for individuals with diabetes, exercise plays a crucial role in lowering blood glucose levels and improving the body’s sensitivity to insulin, countering insulin resistance.

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.

Type One Fitness

Type One Fitness, a diabetes-focused fitness center, is open to everyone. Offering experienced trainers, nutritionists, state-of-the-art equipment, and comprehensive workshops, we enhance overall well-being. Financial aid is available for memberships, and we provide scholarships for individuals living with type 1 diabetes.
