about us



I’ve learnt more about the day to day management of my diabetes being in this group than I have in five years of living with type 1 – thank you!

DENISE – AGE 62
type 1 for 5 years

Welcome to type 1 Bedfordshire, a support group for anyone from Bedfordshire and the surrounding areas living with, or affected by, type 1 diabetes.

Whether you have type 1 yourself or are supporting a friend or family member, you’re not alone. type 1 Bedfordshire is here to provide a warm, supportive and friendly space where you can connect with others who ‘get it’!

Our aim is simple – to give everyone in our local area with type 1, or caring for someone with type 1, the confidence to manage their condition and to live full, active, healthy and happy lives.

Explore our site to learn more about us, how the group works and for further useful information and resources.

We work closely with our local diabetes teams giving our members a real say in their care and helping to shape the support we receive from our healthcare professionals.

We look forward to hearing from you …
