1:1 Mentorship
Get matched with someone who has lived through diagnosis. A parent, teen, or adult who gets it.
For the newly diagnosed
Take a breath.
You're ready.
A Type 1 diagnosis changes the logistics, not your future. Type 1 Ready pairs the newly diagnosed with mentors, resources, and a community that's already walked this path.
You are not alone in this journey.
What we do
Three things we promise on day one.
We exist to make those first weeks less terrifying, and the years that follow more confident.
Plain-language resources
Guides, checklists and short videos written by clinicians and survivors. No jargon.
Starter kits
As soon as you sign up, we will send you a kit with some simple necessities every Type 1 Diabetic may need.
Why we exist
The hospital sends you home.
We pick up from there.
Every 30 minutes, someone in the U.S. is diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Most leave the hospital with a binder, a glucometer, and newfound anxiety. We believe they deserve more. A real person, in their corner, by the time they get home.
