YUv8kDBwT1International believes in a world where everyone with type 1 diabetes – no matter where they live – has everything they need to survive and achieve their dreams. This organization works towards ensuring people with type 1 diabetes have adequate access to insulin, diabetes supplies, medical care and diabetes education. T1International does this by raising awareness, campaigning and collaborating with existing initiatives, and supporting individuals and organisations on the ground that are working to make life better for people with type 1 diabetes.

The T1International Type 1 Diabetes Access Charter was created to take a stand against the outrageous lack of access to life saving essentials that people with type 1 diabetes around the world face every day. Many people with type 1 diabetes are dying or suffering expensive complications because insulin, and the supplies and education to manage diabetes, remain out of reach. This Charter will be used to bolster type 1 diabetes advocacy efforts worldwide. It will show the world that there are many voices united in support of these rights. It can be used to influence the actions of governments and organizations so that policies can be changed and the rights of people with type 1 diabetes can be prioritized.

By signing this Charter, you agree that everyone with type 1 diabetes has the following rights:

  1. The right to insulin
  2. The right to manage blood sugar
  3. The right to diabetes education
  4. The right to healthcare
  5. The right to live a life free from discrimination
