What We Do
Diabetes Incorporated offers Kamp for Kids every summer at Outlaw Ranch in Custer, South Dakota. We also offer other type 1 events and services for kids and their families. We are located in South Dakota, but get families from other states that attend our events and are always welcome. Diabetes Incorporated can help guide you through insurance, find financial help for diabetic supplies, partner you with another type 1 diabetic family for support, or anything else you may need. We also offer yearly scholarships for type 1 kids or if you have a type 1 family member.
