ABOUT JIM’S TEAM 4 DIABETES FOUNDATION:

A non-profit Foundation created by its namesake (Jim Loria) that launched on January 26, 2022 after he was diagnosed with Late Onset Type 1 Diabetes seven months prior (June, 2021) at the age of 66 to help support families living with Diabetes across the USA with some type of financial assistance towards the purchase of diabetic equipment and supplies; provide student scholarships for T1D high school seniors and or current college students; to help fund summer camps for kids also with T1D. Jim’s Team 4 Diabetes was put together to help build a sense of community around Diabetes, believing that “no one living with this disease should feel alone and that people can live a happy and productive life following diagnosis.”
