The T1DE Story

Welcome to T1DE!

Living with Type 1 Diabetes is challenging. The misconceptions are endless - that you can't play high-level sport, eat the foods you love, or live life on your own terms. And too often, T1Ds are left feeling anxious, embarrassed, or like they have to hide who they are.

We believe that stops here.

T1DE was born from almost 20 years of lived experience. Chris has navigated the highs and lows of Type 1 Diabetes firsthand - and along the way, he noticed something missing. Where were the products that were actually fashionable? The kind you'd be proud to carry, not just tolerate? Because T1Ds deserve products that are as stylish as they are functional. No compromises.

Together with his wife Alexa and brother Mark, Chris founded T1DE with a simple mission: to inspire diabetics to keep doing the things they love and to live with confidence - and to look great doing it.

We do that in two ways. First, by building a community where T1Ds can share experiences, swap tips, and celebrate life - follow our socials for videos, recipes, stories and real talk. Second, by creating products designed for both function and style, starting with our Essential Crossbody Bag - built to carry your diabetes essentials confidently, every single day.

We're Chris, Alexa and Mark - and we want you to join us.

You're not alone in this. Let's live boldly, together.
