Beyond Type 1 is a global nonprofit focused on improving the lives of people affected by diabetes. Based in San Mateo, California, it was founded in 2015 through the efforts of Nick Jonas, Juliet De Baubigny, and other diabetes advocates. The organization reaches the largest digital audience among diabetes-focused nonprofits and addresses awareness, prevention, diagnosis, and day-to-day management of the condition. Its work centers on education, community engagement, and self-advocacy, with a goal of reducing stigma and removing barriers to care both in the United States and internationally. By uniting people across all types of diabetes, backgrounds, and geographies, Beyond Type 1 supports practical tools and community connections that help individuals navigate life with diabetes. In May 2026, the organization announced a collaboration with MATTER to launch the Beyond Barriers Innovation Accelerator, a recent initiative aimed at accelerating diabetes-related innovation.
