Free T1D Community Welcome Box 💜

Knowing first-hand the intricacies of living with Type 1 Diabetes, the team at Touched by Type 1 created the D-Box – a starter kit providing important resources and support materials to help individuals with diabetes thrive.

  • Good afternoon. I want to say thank you for the touched box. I am a recently diagnosed type 1 diabetic. This box had so much information that has helped me out tremendously! Thank you for sending it and letting me know I am not alone in this struggle!

  • I just wanted to reach out and let you all know that my son received his Touched by Type 1 box in the mail and he was SO excited. I told him that some other people that have diabetes, and some people that know about diabetes, wanted to send him stuff he might like. Everything in it was PERFECT for him. Thank you so much!
