Type One workshops – building a supportive community for type 1 diabetes

Living with type 1 diabetes can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. Type One Fitness is proud to offer ongoing workshops designed specifically for individuals with T1D, their families, and caregivers. These in-person sessions provide a safe and supportive space to share personal stories, learn from one another, and find the emotional support often missing in traditional medical care. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have been managing T1D for years, our workshops help build a connected community where everyone understands the challenges and triumphs of living with type 1 diabetes. Join us and be part of a network that stands together to live healthier, stronger lives.

What we’re offering

Type One Workshops provide a supportive environment for individuals living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and their loved ones to connect, share personal experiences, and find emotional support. While much of the information and education about diabetes often focuses on type 2, our workshops specifically cater to the unique needs of those with T1D. Through surveys, focus groups, and direct conversations with our community, we’ve identified a gap between medical treatment and the need for emotional support that these workshops aim to fill.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed, a caregiver, or someone who has been living with T1D for years, these workshops are designed to help you feel less alone and more empowered. This is your opportunity to be part of a community where everyone truly understands what it’s like to live with type 1 diabetes.

What to expect

Open sharing environment – Workshops are designed to be welcoming and inclusive. You will hear from others living with T1D and their support networks, offering a space to share stories, strategies, and insights in a judgment-free setting.
Tailored Content – These workshops are driven by the needs of the participants. We adapt based on the feedback and suggestions from those who attend, ensuring each session remains relevant and impactful.
Specialized sessions – As our workshops grow, we aim to offer age-specific sessions, including groups for children, teens, and adults, and eventually introduce mentorship opportunities for joint sessions.

Health benefits of our workshops

Emotional support – Connecting with others who understand your journey can help reduce stress and feelings of isolation.
Shared learning – Learn practical tips, coping strategies, and firsthand experiences that can improve your quality of life.
Expert guidance – Gain access to certified diabetes educators, life coaches, nutritionists, and facilitators who provide valuable insights on managing T1D.

Who should attend

These workshops are open to anyone living with T1D, their caregivers, friends, and family members. You don’t need to meet any specific criteria to join—just bring an open mind and a willingness to engage with others on a similar journey. The best way to determine if this workshop is right for you is to attend a session and see how it feels.

Maximizing your experience

Regular attendance and active participation will help you get the most out of these workshops. Sharing your thoughts and experiences, listening to others, and engaging in discussions will foster a sense of belonging and mutual support.

Final thoughts

We want you to be part of this growing community. Whether you come with questions, concerns, success stories, or just the desire to listen, your presence matters. Together, we can create a supportive network where everyone living with type 1 diabetes feels seen, heard, and empowered.
