This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers are testing an online platform called "Support" that offers education and peer support for adults living with type 1 diabetes. The study compares two approaches: one where your diabetes care team actively recommends and uses the platform with you during appointments, and another where you access it on your own. The goal is to see which approach helps people manage their diabetes better and feel more confident in their care.
Type 1 diabetes requires lifelong insulin therapy and daily self-management skills, but many people don't have access to quality diabetes education programs. Healthcare providers also struggle to stay current with new diabetes technologies and treatments. This study explores whether an online platform could make education and support more accessible and help people manage their diabetes more successfully.

Depending on which group you join, you'll either receive recommendations and guidance to use the online Support platform during your regular diabetes appointments, or you'll access it independently on your own. The platform provides education modules and connects you with others managing type 1 diabetes. You may be followed at one of four participating clinics (in-person, remote, or a mix) or at your own diabetes clinic across Canada, and researchers will track how well the platform helps you manage your diabetes over time.
