Let’s fight type 1 diabetes together

Diabetes can be hard enough to deal with, but that is why we are here. With the right tools and support, anyone can manage type 1 diabetes successfully.

Find the balance

Having diabetes is a challenge for anyone, but living with type 1 diabetes can be overwhelming. You can find success by balancing your medications, sticking to your daily exercise routine and nutrition plan. Reaching out for help from others who live with type 1 diabetes will put you in the know.

Mental health matters

Diabetes takes a toll on the physical and mental health of patients, but there are many resources available to help with this difficult journey.

You are in control

Going against type 1 diabetes just by eating can be a challenging and complex endeavour. The key to balancing blood sugar is to experiment with different foods, both before and after meals, so you know how they all affect your body. However, don’t go overboard on the experimenting; it will only lead to more confusion unless you restrict yourself

Manage your medication

Finding a management plan for type 1 diabetes that works best for you means talking with your health care provider to discover what works.
