Ongoing Support

Type 1 diabetes can be a frightening and overwhelming experience. Even as time goes on, it's a constant learning curve. That's why JDRF has developed a support program that provides practical advice and help for people who have been affected by a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes.

Peer Support Program

JDRF's Peer Support Program is a volunteer network that connects people who have been affected by type 1 diabetes. The Program provides the opportunity for individuals to talk to a volunteer who has been there, someone who can give practical help and advice.

All our Peer Support volunteers not only have personal experience living with type 1 diabetes, they are carefully selected by JDRF and given ongoing training to help them to give the very best support.

The Peer Support Program provides an opportunity for people affected by the disease to reach out to the type 1 diabetes community, receive ongoing support and transition to life with type 1 diabetes.

This program is kindly supported by Lilly Diabetes.
