CommuniT1D is a free peer support program for people in Canada
Meet online once a month with others like you
“It is so helpful to talk with others who know what it’s like to deal with type 1 diabetes.”
Who is eligible to join?
People in Canada (and Canadian citizens & permanent residents currently living abroad) whose lives are touched by type 1 diabetes (T1D) or similar types of diabetes because:
– they have T1D themselves, or
– they have one or more loved ones (child, parent, sibling, friend, spouse, etc.) with T1D
We welcome people whose lives are touched by other rare, insulin-requiring types of diabetes often grouped with T1D:
– LADA (Latent Autoimmune Diabetes of Adults)
– MODY (Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young) requiring insulin
– type 3c, which is a type of diabetes that occurs due to damage to the pancreas or having had the pancreas removed
CommuniT1D will match small groups of adults whose lives are affected by T1D, who want to connect with others in similar situations, and who are interested in participating in virtual meet-ups (like a Zoom meeting) for about an hour about once a month.
