This program addresses the unique needs young adults (ages 18 – 25) with type 1 diabetes facing the challenges of transitioning and adjusting to new life stages.  By providing support, cooperative educational programs and tools for healthy living, participants will develop positive well-being and supportive social networks.

•    Health insurance, navigating health care and finances
•    Exercise and nutrition
•    Time management with diabetes in your life
•    Stress management and relationships
•    Partying and other risky business…and more
•    Sexuality
•    How to handle your parents' fears

DTreat programs are generously sponsored by many foundations, diabetes industry partners and others and are offered annually across the country.  Stay tuned on the DTreat Facebook page and visit here to learn about upcoming events.

I was wondering if you had somewhat of schedule set up yet...such as what time it will start and end. I would very much like to go, but need to figure out if I'll be able to fingure out financing the travel to and from. Basically, I want to know the start times and end times for the Berkeley DTreat 2010 in order to book travel. If you know what they are the information would be very helpful. Thanks so much!

DTreat starts Friday at 4 PM for registration and ends Sunday at 2 PM.
