Part of D&E’s mission is to help folks with Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes connect with the local in-person groups and meetups, Facebook groups, blogs, Twitter feeds, websites and other online and offline organizations and resources that can help them best.
Want to add your site, group or organization?
We’d be happy to consider adding you as a resource, too. Just email us here with your details. We’re independent, and we informally and enthusiastically collaborate with anyone and everyone who thinks exercise and diabetes go together like…peanut butter and chocolate. Gels and electrolytes. Insulin and glucose tabs. You get the idea.
No organization — D&E or anyone else — has a monopoly on making a difference, and we’re all about sharing resources with people who need them.
The only requirement for adding a resource to this listing is that you support physical activity for people with Type 1, Type 2 or any another form of diabetes — whether that’s a short daily walk or an ultramarathon — and you want to help people with diabetes juggle exercise, food, insulin & meds as successfully as they can.
On the other hand, if you know nothing about actually living with diabetes and you simply want to sell stuff to people with diabetes because you heard there are a lot of us out here, go away.
