How it works

A type 1 guide, made in a few minutes

Fill in the form and get a guide for the people around someone with type 1: teachers, coaches, family and friends. Every guide has the same sections, written from reviewed wording: who to call, what's in the bag, the medicines, and what to do for lows and highs. You choose who it's written for and how it looks, then save it as a PDF.

Step 1Who is this guide for?

This sets the words. A kid's guide talks to the kid, a helper's guide gives step-by-step instructions. Every guide has the same sections in the same order; only the wording changes. The line under each choice shows how the first step for a low reads.

Step 2Pick a look

The look sets the colours, type and artwork. It doesn't change any words, and any look works with any reader.

Step 3Name and details

The guide is about them. If you're a parent, use your child's first name. Up to 20 letters.

Write it in your own words, up to 400 characters. Leave it blank to use the wording shown.

Step 4What's in the bag

Tick what's carried every day. It shows as a checklist.

Step 5Medicines

Pick from the list. Each choice adds a reviewed description and a link to its official site.

How is insulin given?
Step 6Dosing

Choose how much dosing detail the guide shows.

General facts about each medicine: when it starts working, when it peaks and how long it lasts. These are the same for everyone. No amounts and no instructions.

Confirm first. Check doses and timing with your doctor and care team. The guide always shows the date these details were added.

Step 7Who to call

Up to 5 people, in the order they should be called. Up to 3 show at the top of the guide; the rest go in a list near the end.
