The community just got better!
The ADA x BT1 Collab brings together the expertise of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) with the publishing and sharing power of Beyond Type 1 (BT1) to offer information and programs to the diabetes community—including people with type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and their caregivers.
The Collab online community will continue to serve your interests, and is a familiar place where you can share, connect, learn, and engage with exciting new content, and so much more. Please join to double our community impact and bring your experiences, challenges, and successes to new and old friends!
Beyond Type 2 Community
Supported by the Collab
A private space built specifically for those with type 2 to connect and engage with others through informative posts, insightful perspectives, polls, questions, and above all, community.
The Beyond Type 2 (BT2) community also offers a group specifically for Spanish-speaking users.
Beyond Type 1 Community
An online community for those with type 1 to connect directly with others who just get it.
Post questions, answer insightful polls, share tips and tricks, celebrate wins, and feel a little less alone in the Beyond Type 1 (BT1) online community.
Frequently Asked Questions
