Become an EXTOD Buddy

EXTOD Buddies is a new peer support programme for people living with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) who want to start being more active, increase their current exercise levels, or learn how to manage their glucose more effectively around sport and physical activity.

We are currently working with Enhance-D to develop a free app to support this. The app will help people with T1D connect with others who take part in similar types of exercise. You’ll be able to chat, share tips and data, and ask questions. The EXTOD team will also help answer questions and support the conversations happening in the app.

You’ll also have the option to volunteer to join a research community through the app.

We plan to launch the app at the EXTOD National Conference for Healthcare Professionals on 24–25 November 2025.

If you’d like to be notified when the app becomes available, please email R.C.Andrews@exeter.ac.uk.

We look forward to helping more people with T1D stay active, connected, and supported
