Diabetes Education Services
Diabetes education services are especially critical to those newly diagnosed. Whether you’re recently diagnosed or you’ve been living with diabetes, we have the resources to help you. Our advocates can help guide you and your family by matching you with someone who can mentor you along this new diagnosis. Along with advocacy, we prioritize mental health for our members. We offer a counseling scholarship through local counseling firms to help cover counseling services. Finally, you do not need to do this alone. Our community events provide an opportunity to discuss the highs and lows in your journey.
Advocate Program
Our advocate program was created to support and provide resources to type one diabetics and their families during their diagnosis transition.
Newly diagnosed diabetics will be matched with an advocate who will mentor them along their journey.
Parents of the newly diagnosed will be matched with an advocate who will offer support and guidance.
Counseling Services
The mental health of our members is a high priority at our organization, especially those living with a chronic illness.
We offer a counseling scholarship in partnership with local counseling firms to help cover the cost of therapy services. We are committed to providing the support needed for those seeking this service. Please reach out to us for more information on our counseling scholarship and to learn if you are eligible.
Community Events
Type One Diabetes is a journey full of highs and lows. Having a group of people who understand what it feels like to live with the disease every day makes that journey a little bit easier.
We host events to bring our diabetic community together while doing a fun activity. This is a great opportunity to meet other people living with diabetes, network with members, ask questions, and help members feel supported and empowered with their diabetes.

School Wellness Program
Navigating type one diabetes can be a lot to manage, let us help! Our school wellness program is open to all diabetic students in the southwest Michigan area school system.
Our program includes monthly visitations to check on the student, facilitation with school nurses, and providing any extra resources and support for your child. We are happy to speak with individual classes about the signs of low and high blood sugar and what to do in an emergency with your diabetic student.
