With the COVID-19 pandemic in full swing, we have moved the T1D Huddle online! We know there are many questions surrounding the virus, pandemic, vaccines and other prevention methods, current research, and safety concerns for individuals with type 1 diabetes. In this session, Gerri Klein will try to alleviate some of these uncertainties by providing the latest guidelines available on COVID-19 and T1D management.
