We connect our passion to your challenge

Diabetes Sports Project (DSP) is an organization built to inspire. Led by a group of world class athletes who thrive with diabetes, their stories, athletic accomplishments and community outreach empower others to live healthy, responsible and active lives. 

"I want movement, not a calm course of existence." 

 

We are the home of the DSP Elite Team, which supports athletes with Type 1 Diabetes who are competing to qualify for the Boston Marathon and Ironman World Championships.
