Our Impact
We’re here to make life better for people impacted by diabetes—boldly, unapologetically, and with just the right dose of disruption. We raise global awareness, delivering life-saving resources and community support to help people with diabetes not just survive—but thrive. Some of us live with or care for a family member living with diabetes, some of us don’t—diverse perspectives make our work better. But we all show up with purpose, ready to build what’s needed to change what it means to live with diabetes.
Our Culture
We’re a fully remote team spread across the U.S. We work hard, stay flexible and trust each other to get the job done. We value different perspectives, honest conversations and being able to laugh together between meetings. You’ll have the space to be yourself and the support to do your best work. We believe inclusion isn’t just a value—it’s how we build stronger work and a better community.

Logging bull riding and bowling on strava >>> All movement is good movement. Our 4-week challenge, Your Type of Moves, starts today. 180 minutes of movement a week as a nod to the 180+ extra decisions a day those of us living with diabetes make every day. And we`re trying to raise a little money along the way to help people with diabetes survive and thrive.

Ever seen one of the first blood sugar meters? The Ames Eyetone meter from 1972 measured blood glucose with reflectance photometry, or reading the intensity of light reflected off a Dextrostix reagent strip. And before that, it all came down to urine.

What is your Diabetes Alert Mom known for doing? 🤔
180 minutes of movement a week. Sound like a lot? People with diabetes make 180+ extra decisions every single day. Your Type of Moves is a movement challenge dedicated to that number. Move anywhere, any way — walk, stretch, meditate, dance, breathe, etc.
If you`d like to fundraise and make an impact, each dollar we raise helps people with diabetes survive and thrive.

The diabetes rumor mill works overtime. Set the record straight.
There are way more than 2 types of diabetes. More like 20+. So stigma around type 1 vs type 2 doesn`t even tell the full story and fuels harmful narratives.
There are stages of type 1 diabetes. When you get diagnosed with type 1, you’re actually already in stage 3. In earlier stages, there may be opportunity to delay diagnosis and preserve beta cell function.
Insulin isn`t the only hormone impacted by diabetes. People with type 1 diabetes don`t make or can`t properly regulate several hormones like amylin, glucagon, and GLP-1.

Healthcare gaps are more than a statistic. It’s a misdiagnosis. It`s being denied the tech you need to survive. But the future of diabetes care is being shaped right now, by you. And we want to fund it.
We`re funding the people and organizations working to close these gaps—for earlier and more accurate diagnosis, expanded access to care and education, reduced stigma and new technologies.
Grants up to $50k. Apply by April 28 in our profile or share with someone who should.

This Black Maternal Health week we spoke to Lexie (@thedivabetic) about her recent experience giving birth to her daughter as a person with type 1 diabetes and the advice she would give to others on a similar journey.
Are you currently pregnant (or planning to be) and living with type 1 diabetes? The Jaeb Center for Health Research is enrolling participants for an observational study exploring how continuous glucose monitors and automated insulin delivery systems support diabetes management during pregnancy.
Find more info on the study in our profile.
What are you bringing with you to be festival ready?
Statistically, my chances of a healthy pregnancy aren’t the same as everyone else`s. Pregnancy with diabetes isn’t simple. In some cases, more than 1 in 3 pregnancies with diabetes end early.
And that’s only part of the story. In the U.S., most pregnancy-related deaths are preventable…yet Black women are still over three times more likely to die and face more complications.
This is why Black Maternal Health Week is important. Because surviving pregnancy should never depend on who you are. Don`t be afraid to speak up and ask questions. You matter.

There’s a lot of misconceptions around the cost of insulin. Is it capped at $35? For who? We’re breaking it down — plus answering questions we got on the INSULIN Act.
Everyone deserves access to modern insulin and technology. Find a list of patient assistance programs in our profile that may be able to help with the cost of supplies etc. and if you or someone you know is struggling to afford insulin now, see what cost-saving options are available to you at getinsulin.org

Have you ever had a low where you needed someone else to step in?
Low blood sugar is no joke, and knowing what to do matters. If a loved one is low and conscious, give juice, soda (not diet), or glucose tabs. If they’re unconscious or too weak, use glucagon and call emergency services. These simple steps can save a life.
We’re making our mark on NYC. Learn the warning signs of type 1 diabetes. It could save a life.
Did you know that 40% of adults diagnosed with T1D were initially diagnosed with T2D? And that number could be a whole lot smaller with a simple c-peptide test done at diagnosis. Spread the word and let`s lower that percentage together 🤝

How it started vs. how it’s going

Diabetes isn`t a barrier to gender-affirming care and hormone therapy. Here`s a few questions to ask if you`re looking to start a conversation with your healthcare team about transitioning while living with diabetes. Share this so someone who could use it finds it.
- How might hormone therapy change my insulin needs?
- What baseline diabetes information should we review before I start hormones?
- How often should I monitor my glucose when starting hormone therapy?
- Who will help adjust my insulin if my numbers change?
- What warning signs should I watch for after starting hormone therapy?
