The Able Diabetic Community

The importance of shared experience

Type 1 diabetes can feel isolating. The people around you often can’t see what you’re dealing with, and the daily reality of managing a condition that never switches off is hard to explain, even to those closest to you.

The Able Diabetic community exists to change that.

This is a space where people who live with t1d, and the people who love and support them, can connect, learn, and feel understood. Whether you were diagnosed last month or thirty years ago, whether you’re a t1d yourself or the parent, partner, or friend standing alongside one - you are welcome.

Because when someone truly gets it, everything feels a little lighter.

A closer connection

For a closer connection

For those who want more - a monthly connection that goes deeper.

The Able Diabetic started as one person’s story. It’s becoming something bigger - a community of people who believe that t1d doesn’t define your life, it’s just part of it. Subscribing is free, and it’s how you become part of that inner circle.

The ABLE DIABETIC Monthly Letter

Once a month, straight to your inbox - a personal letter from Sarah. Not a newsletter full of links. A real letter. What’s been on my mind, what I’ve been cooking, something I’ve learned or re-learned about life with t1d, and the odd recommendation thrown in. Think of it as a conversation with a friend who happens to share your condition.

Meet Sarah — Monthly Live Q&A

Once a month, subscribers are invited to join a live webinar where we can talk properly. Ask questions, share what’s on your mind, or just listen. Some months I’ll pick a theme — food, tech, the emotional side of T1D, navigating work, travel. Other months it’ll be completely open. The point is connection — something Instagram and blogs can’t quite offer.

Let's meet in real life

I’m planning in-person events — a chance to meet, talk, eat, and spend time together beyond the screen. I don’t have dates and venues yet, but I want to make sure that when I do, they’re in the right places and shaped around what you actually want.

If you’d like to be the first to hear about upcoming events, and help me shape what they look like, register your interest below. Tell me where you are and what kind of event would get you through the door — I’d genuinely love to know.
