Understanding Type 1 Diabetes

We are excited to announce that a new, updated version of this course will be launching in two weeks. If you anticipate being unable to complete the current course within this timeframe, we recommend waiting for the updated version. You will receive an email notification as soon as the new course goes live.

This course is an introductory course that provides information about type 1 diabetes. It focuses on what diabetes is, how it is treated, complications that may occur, as well as what you can do to keep yourself healthy. The topic list (to the right) will give you an idea of all the information covered.

There is another follow-on course available, ‘Living with Type 1 Diabetes’ that you may wish to complete, which covers all the topics related to managing type 1 diabetes on a day-to-day basis.

This course:

Is for anyone that has been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes

Will take no more than 4 hours to complete

Can be completed at your own pace and doesn’t have to be in one sitting

We hope to help you feel confident in managing your diabetes and support you in making decisions that result in the best possible health outcomes for you. Please note that all comments left on the forum are moderated.
