Ypsomed Diabetescare has created the virtual education series, ‘T1 Connects’, developed specifically for the needs of people living with Type 1 diabetes in Canada. Hear from a range of healthcare professionals and patients as they discuss various topics relevant to people living with Type 1 diabetes.
Thank you for your interest. Our current 'T1 Connects' series has ended, but recordings of each session are available below. We have recordings of all 6 sessions that cover various diabetes related topics, with many great panelists to provide you perspectives of healthcare professionals and patients. Each session is about 45 min long and include live question and answers from participants.
We will be offering more webinars in the future! Look for announcements of future sessions on our Facebook and Instagram pages. If you have suggestions, or requests, for topics related to diabetes or our products, we would love to hear from you in the social media comments.
