DigiBete and Together Type 1 Launch ‘Connect’ on the DigiBete App

DigiBete and Together Type 1 Launch ‘Connect’ on the DigiBete App

10 Apr 2025

Hi,

We’re really excited to announce a new peer support area on the DigiBete app in partnesrhip with Together Type 1 called ‘Connect’.

Connect is a place where young people aged 11 to 25 can find support, hear from others living with T1D, learn more about tech, use the events calendar to find out what’s going on locally and nationally.

The button connects young people with their community no matter where they are in the UK.

Through the partnership with Diabetes UK, members of the Together Type 1 community have helped lead on the development of Connect.
 

What people say about Connect:

“With the Connect Button, it is a great way to find support as you can see other type 1s going through similar things and sharing their experiences. It is also a good resource to connect with other people with diabetes in your local area if that is something that piques your interest.” – Freya, Together Type 1 Young Leader, who advised on the development of the button

“Launching this Connect Button on the DigiBete app will help many people living with type 1 diabetes. This is a new way to connect with people, learn from each other, and make supportive friendships – online and in real life. Together we are stronger, so start connecting today!” – Diane Smith, Head of Type 1 Services at Diabetes UK

“We were thrilled to collaborate with the young leaders of the Together Type 1 programme. DigiBete are passionate about supporting young people to access trusted, clinically approved self-management information and access to peer to peer education, stories and events. The Connect button brings all this together for the Type 1 diabetes community.” – Maddie Julian, co-founder of DigiBete

If you’re aged between 11 and 25 then log back into your DigiBete app and you’ll see the connect button on your app’s home screen.

Start your Connect journey today!

Many thanks from all at Team DB : )
