Real People. Real Support. Real T1D Experience.

Managing Type 1 Diabetes can feel overwhelming — especially at first. At T1D Connect, we believe no one should have to navigate T1D alone. Our mentorship network pairs newly diagnosed individuals with mentors who have lived with T1D for years. These one-on-one connections offer guidance, encouragement, and real-life insight.
