Children with Diabetes Founder Jeff Hitchcock

Jeff Hitchcock founded Children with Diabetes in 1995, during the early years of the internet, to create a community where people with type 1 diabetes and their families could connect, share experiences, and find support. Today, the Children with Diabetes Friends for Life Conference in Orlando, Florida, has grown into the largest gathering of people with type 1 diabetes in the world. Tune in to hear Jeff discuss what inspired him to create Children with Diabetes, how the organization has evolved over the past three decades, and the ways it has helped make life with diabetes a little easier for countless individuals and families. Our conversation is open and candid, exploring advances in treatment, the importance of human connection, the continuing search for a cure, and the everyday challenges of living with a chronic illness.
