T1D Empowerment
Education gives people confidence.
We believe people with Type 1 Diabetes in South-East Asia should not only survive, but thrive. This is only possible if people understand their condition. We run three educational programmes: Hello Type 1, T1D Camps, and ASPIRE.
Hello Type 1
If someone does not understand their T1D, then they will not be able to manage it. Hello Type 1 makes T1D information easy to access online in local languages and offers:
-
Support for People living with T1D
-
Support for Caregivers
-
Support for HCPs
Hello Type 1 is the first online platform designed to make medical advice about managing T1D accessible in Asia. Topics covered are related to diet, blood glucose monitoring, and exercise and available to anyone with a smartphone, tablet or laptop.
Launched in July 2020, HelloType1 is available in English, Khmer, Vietnamese, Thai and Bahasa Malaysia. A4D plans to roll out the platform across all countries with our presence.

These three young girls arranged to meet up in the town of Pwin Oo Lwin in northern Myanmar. They were different ages, had different hobbies and went to different schools, but they had one thing in common: Type 1 Diabetes.
They met for the first time at A4D's T1D Camp in Mandalay. Their freindships remained strong and they continue to share their experiences of living with Type 1 Diabetes and cycling expertise!
