Growing stronger. Building confidence. Thriving together.

ICD’s Growing with Diabetes Conference is back for 2027, bringing together children, teens, adults, and families for an inspiring day of learning, connection, and community. Grounded in ICD’s commitment to building confidence and practical, real-world diabetes management skills, this event is all about empowering individuals and families to feel supported, capable, and confident at every stage of their diabetes journey.

Through engaging, age-specific programming for children and teens, participants will have opportunities to build independence, strengthen self-advocacy skills, and connect with others who truly understand life with type 1 diabetes. Families and caregivers can explore expert-led workshops, discover helpful resources, and gain practical strategies to navigate everyday life with diabetes.

From shared experiences and new friendships to fresh perspectives and practical takeaways, Growing with Diabetes is a chance to connect, learn, grow, and celebrate what's possible when we come together.

Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been living with diabetes for years, there's something here for everyone. Come as you are, bring your questions, and leave feeling more connected, confident, and empowered.

Optional: Self-Identification Section

Why am I being asked to complete self-identification questions?

The following questions are optional. The collection of self-identification data is a central piece of ICD's commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion(EDI). This information increases our capacity to monitor progress on increasing EDI in our programs, to recognize and remove barriers, and to design new measures to achieve greater EDI.

Indigenous identity: Do you identify as an Indigenous person? (First Nation, Métis, or Inuk/Inuit)

Visible Minority Identity: Do you identify as a member of a visible minority? (defined as persons, other than Aboriginal peoples, who are non-Caucasian in race or non-white in colour)

ICD Gear

Our skull logo was designed by founder Chris Jarvis when he and 11 type one teammates took on the Canadian Death Race. One of the world's toughest ultramarathons in the Rocky Mountains, the team covered 445 km in just 24 hours. The crossed needles signify that insulin allows us to take on any challenge, in the gym, in sport and on the trail.
