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

DigiBete, in partnership with the Together Type 1 Programme, is proud to announce the launch of ‘Connect’. This is a brand new section within the DigiBete app and is funded by the Together Type 1 Programme at Diabetes UK.

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.

Young Leader, Together Type 1 Programme said:

“You have everything in one place, you can see others of a similar age going through the same thing.”

Maddie Julian, co-founder of DigiBete said:

“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.”

How to access Connect

Connect is available through the DigiBete App, which provides digital information and support directly to young people and their families in England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland. The App is used by over 80% of families and young people in England and Wales and is recommended by 90% of NHS paediatric diabetes clinics.
