Why Community Matters
Exercise is one of the most complex diabetes management challenges — and the best way to learn it is alongside people who are figuring it out too. Type One Run exists because peer learning works. Members share what's working, what isn't, and how they've adapted — and everyone gets sharper because of it.
The Community
Type One Run began as a small running group in Los Angeles and grew into a global community because peer learning works. Members share what's working, what isn't, and how they've adapted — and everyone gets sharper because of it.
The community lives on Facebook, where T1D runners of all levels share strategies, race recaps, and real talk about running with diabetes. It's free, welcoming, and one of the most active T1D running communities anywhere.
