Mentors are volunteers who provide one-on-one support to families and individuals who are newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Mentors give comfort, answer non-medical questions, provide resources and share stories. Matches may be parent-to-parent, child-to-child, adult-to-adult or adult-to-child and are carefully made based on location and situation, such as a child’s grade in school, age at diagnosis, specific issues, etc. You are welcome to request a certain type of match that you feel best fits your needs. The relationship may consist of phone calls, emails, or face-to-face meetings - it is up to the Mentor and you to decide

Written by adults who have type 1 diabetes themselves, the Toolkit is a personal guidebook to life with diabetes. It aims to help adults live well with the disease by providing a wealth of information and resources about the diagnosis and management of type 1 diabetes. It also covers issues surrounding specific life stages and situations, such as relationships and marriage, pregnancy and children, the workplace, and complications.
