Detect Earlier. Live Healthier.
You're invited to a free, family-friendly evening hosted by Beyond Type 1 at Planet Word, focused on early diabetes detection, health equity, and community connection.
This is more than a health event—it’s a celebration of culture, care, and community. Join us as we bring trusted resources directly to families. Because when it comes to diabetes, early detection saves lives—and expanding access to those tools is a crucial way we can close the gaps in care.

WHY IT'S IMPORTANT?
Did you know that about 90% of people with type 1 diabetes have no family history before they were diagnosed? That's why it's important—no matter your backstory—to consider early detection screening for type 1 diabetes.
Early detection can prevent potential life-threatening symptoms from high blood sugar levels as a result of unknown type 1 diabetes. Advances in screening now allow us to confidently identify autoantibodies linked to type 1 diabetes before any symptoms occur.
We provide complimentary early detection screening for all attendees because everyone should have the right information when it matters most.
