I am a: looking for

CDN was founded in 2009 by a college student with T1D who felt isolated and struggled to manage her diabetes.

"As a student at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, I struggled with managing my T1D on my own. In my junior year, I formed a group to connect students with T1D. We supported each other, exchanged strategies, and even supplies. The group changed my life at college and was the impetus for starting CDN."

- Christina Roth, CEO and Founder

CDN support

Through CDN, I gained the resources and community to learn how to use my voice to advocate for myself and my community. If it wasn't for CDN I wouldn't be the successful person I am today, I wouldn't be the healthy person I am today, and I certainly don't think I would be this happy.

True understanding

"Most people can sympathize, but in this group they [can] empathize. CDN is a great group of people, and a great place to continue to learn and grow as a person."
