Where Young Adults Thrive

About us

The Diabetes Link is a national nonprofit organization that specializes in helping teens and young adults navigate their diabetes among an ever-changing and fast-paced world. And while WHAT we do is important (Peer support! Expert resources! and more!), it's WHO we are that matters most. We were originally founded in 2009 as the College Diabetes Network, by a college student named Christina Roth. She felt isolated with her type 1 diabetes.
