Connect. Challenge. Explore.
Creating opportunities for people with type 1 diabetes of all ages to overcome challenges and find support.
Our Mission and Vision
I Challenge Diabetes aims to connect, empower and support people living with diabetes through mentorship and challenging programs.
Our vision is for people living with diabetes have the skills, support, and courage to face challenge and discover new levels of what is possible for them. Together, we apply strategies to overcome obstacles and grow to take ownership for our health.
We focus on how to manage diabetes effectively in the midst of real life challenges and use active programs to bring strategies to life. We’ve hosted thousands of type 1s in everything from a fun day of hiking or paddling to week-long sports camps and extreme adventure challenges.

Our Reach
The below numbers are taken from events facilitated by members of ICD’s team since 2011. Because of the depth of resources put into making deeper impacts in many organizations like ours, a standard calculation called “participant days” is used to fully account for multi-day programs.
