About Us
Via video and the web, we promote a proactive outlook and provide the important information needed by those newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Still got questions? Click here to learn more.Our Question
We asked ourselves what is the best thing that could happen to a person newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes? Maybe learning a proactive outlook on the condition? Or perhaps getting exposure to tons of helpful information and empowerment? How about making friends who have proven that type 1 diabetes can make you stronger?Our Idea
WELCOME TO TYPE 1 is using the power of video and the web to provide these beneficial things for people with type 1 diabetes. In 2013 and 2014, the W2T1 team interviewed families and experts all over North America and the United Kingdom. In 2015 we’re excited to start sharing this new content with you on the website and through our social media channels.Our Suggestion
To get a good idea of what this project is all about, watch the video introduction. There’s already lots more to see, however, and we recommend checking out the Profiles section to see a lot of positive and proactive people who are excited about Welcome to Type 1™. See what they have to say about the project in particular and about living well with type 1 diabetes more generally.Sponsored Product

We’re creating several short video clips that provide answers to the most commonly asked questions by those newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, as well as to the questions they don’t yet know to ask. Our goal is to provide an accessible introduction to the science, technology and psychology necessary for thriving with the condition.
