Theory of Change

In 2021 about 304,000 children and adolescents in the United States living with Type 1 Diabetes. 1.2 million new cases of diabetes were diagnosed. To improve the quality of life for those affected by Type 1 Diabetes we need resources, awareness and testing. Unfortunately children are not tested as of now for Type 1 Diabetes. 

We initial started our framework in our current county and surrounding areas in Maryland. This allowed us to educate members of our communities with information and testing. Base on the results we set this location as a model to provide data to make adjustments to the current policies and procedures around the states and world.  

Success for this model can be measured by the number of people from the community using and attending the programs and resources. Also by the data analyze from the health facilities comparing the number of new known cases and death from Type 1 Diabetes that remained undiagnosed. The goal is to reduce this number.
