New Coping with Diabetes tool for 10 to 14 year olds on the DigiBete App

25 Mar 2024

Hi,

We are thrilled to announce our new Coping with Diabetes tool for 10 to 14 year olds in collaboration with our wonderful partners JDRF UK.

The Coping with Diabetes button on the DigiBete App is a new emotional support tool for those living with type 1 diabetes. Co-designed with young people and psychologists across the UK this new tool supports mental health and wellbeing.

Behind the button you will find young people talking about their real life with type 1 diabetes as well as resources and interactive activities designed by psychologists to explain how our emotional systems work to help young people aged 10-14 build resilience and self-esteem.

A huge thank you goes out to the wonderful families, psychologists and to our fantastic partners JDRF who have been involved in this vital piece of work

If your child is aged between 10-14 or you are aged 13-14 and already use the DigiBete app, follow these steps to access the Coping with Diabetes tool:

• Make sure you have the latest version of the DigiBete App on your phone
• Go to Google Play or the App Store to check if you need to update your version of the App
• If you don’t need to update your app and you cannot see the new button, please logout and log back in with your clinic code and it should appear.  If you cannot remember your clinic code then please press ‘forgotten clinic code’
