Accessing Support with Type 1 Diabetes
At Touched by Type 1, we believe every person living with T1D should have the tools and connections they need to thrive—regardless of location, background, or financial status.
Whether you’re newly diagnosed, caring for a child with type 1, or supporting others in your community, we’re here to help you find your next step. From school accommodations and peer connections to community meetups and educational resources, we’re working to make support more reachable for everyone.
Because thriving with type 1 shouldn’t depend on who you know or where you live. It starts with access, and we’re here to open that door.
