Your story is part of something bigger. 💙 At TK.T Your story is part of something bigger. 💙

At TK.Type1, we believe every person living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) has a story worth telling—and that those stories are what connect and strengthen our community.

Whether it’s about resilience, frustration, burnout, or small everyday wins, sharing your experience helps others feel less alone and builds understanding far beyond the T1D world.

We’re collecting stories from across the community to highlight throughout the year—because awareness doesn’t start or stop with a single month.

📩 Share your story and become part of the growing TK.Type1 community: LINK IN BIO.

Together, we’re rewriting what it means to live with type 1.

“I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes four years ago, completely out of the blue. I was 20, in college, and suddenly trying to figure out how to juggle school, friendships, life, and a brand-new full-time job (T1D) that I didn’t apply for.

Over time, it became something that shaped me in the best way. It pushed me to grow up fast, advocate for myself, and find a community that makes this journey feel lighter. It’s also what inspired me to create T1Disco so I could bring some connection and light into a space that can feel heavy.”

Just a friendly reminder. 👇 Taking things one day Just a friendly reminder. 👇
Taking things one day at a time with T1D is a strategy.
It's a stress management technique.
It's learning to live in the moment.
(And not let T1D control every second of your life!)

Thank you for sharing your story with us, @imchron Thank you for sharing your story with us, @imchronicallyjulia. T1D is a difficult thing to accept, and everyone has their own journey and feelings about it! What does accepting T1D mean to you? 💬⠀
⠀
“I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 10. I went through lots of ups and downs in terms of accepting this disease. While I don’t know that I’ve ever fully accepted it, I do accept that I have to manage it.⠀
⠀
Connecting with the diabetes community has been the greatest joy and relief of my life. Now, diabetes is a part of almost everything I do as a human. ❤️⠀
⠀
I live with it, write about it, and coach people going through it.”⠀

"A few years ago, I found myself utterly drained by the constant calculations, alarms, and the pressure to stay 'in-range.' That experience reminded me that diabetes isn’t only a physical condition: it’s emotional, relentless, and sometimes overwhelming. I realized that managing type 1 well means caring for your mindset just as much as your numbers."⠀
