Who We Are

Living with type 1 diabetes is challenging.  Sharing our individual challenges and triumphs helps everybody in our community remove the isolation we can feel from time to time.

Thriveabetes is a conference organised completely by volunteers living with or affected by type 1 diabetes, and seeks to Inform, Motivate, and Inspire you to thrive with type 1 diabetes.

What We Do

Our first conference: Thriveabetes 2015 was the first type-1-only conference of its kind, organised by the type 1 community and attended by almost 200 people.

Since then we have had conferences in 2016, 2017 and in 2018. This idea is more than just a conference.  We want to help connect people to the type 1 diabetes community, building a safe and supportive place to gain strength from something that otherwise makes us feel weak.
