Fundación Diabetes Juvenil de Chile

Fundación Diabetes Juvenil de Chile is a nonprofit that supports and educates people living with type 1 diabetes and their families. It works through a peer model in which membership is free and open only to those diagnosed with T1D. Founded in 1987 by parents of children with diabetes, it runs workshops, carbohydrate-counting and cooking classes, conferences, and camps. It has grown to more than 10,000 members served through three regional offices, and it is dedicated exclusively to type 1 diabetes.
