You’re Not Alone; Help Is on the Way!
Hi, my name is Elizabeth Forrest, and I am the founder of Touched by Type 1. I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when I was just 10 years old, and since then, it has been my mission to ensure that no one faces T1D alone. Managing this condition can be overwhelming, but you are not alone—there are resources and support available to help you.
