Diabetes Youth Families is a nonprofit organization focused on improving the quality of life for children, teens, and families affected by type 1 diabetes. It delivers education and recreational activities within a supportive community to foster personal growth, knowledge, and independence. Founded in 1938 by UCSF physician Dr. Mary B Olney, the organization is based in Concord, California. The group operates within the nonprofit health sector, serving families navigating type 1 diabetes as a community-based resource. In early 2025, DYF participated in the Share the Magic Gala, an event that honored nurse Jeannie Hickey.
