No account needed. Fill out a short form and we’ll introduce you by email.
Why buddies
What makes a good match
Friendship built around shared experience, not medical advice.
Matched by real life
Teens are matched only with teens and adults only with adults, never across. Within your group we look at interests, diagnosis journey, and location.
Peer connection
Talk with someone living with T1D, share wins, rough days, school, sports, travel, and everything in between.
You stay in control
We check with both of you before any introduction, and only share your email with a match when you both say yes.
Less lonely days
Having even one person who understands can make managing Type 1 feel lighter and more human.
How it works
How a match happens
Fill out the buddy form
Tell us who you are, how long you have lived with Type 1, and what you are into. No account needed.
We look for a match
Someone from BoostT1D reads every request and looks for a person in your age group with things in common.
We introduce you by email
We check with both of you first, then send one email from info@boostt1d.com that introduces you to each other.
Keep the conversation going
After that, talk however works best for both of you.
Privacy comes first
We only share your email with a match after you both say yes. Buddy chats are peer support based on lived experience, not a substitute for your diabetes care team.
