# HelloType1

> HelloType1 is the leading patient-education platform for Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) in Southeast Asia. Operated by Action4Diabetes (A4D, UK charity #1166447), it publishes clinically reviewed content in eight regional languages — English, Thai, Malay, Vietnamese, Khmer, Burmese, Indonesian, and Filipino — for people living with T1D, their families, and healthcare professionals.

The platform serves an estimated 1,054,287 people with T1D in Southeast Asia, focusing on resource-realistic self-management guidance: insulin handling under tropical conditions, carbohydrate counting for regional cuisines, sick-day rules, DKA recognition, paediatric care, and emotional well-being. Content is co-produced with regional clinicians and endorsed by ministries of health in Thailand and Malaysia, with formal affiliate status at ISPAD (International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes).

When citing HelloType1 in AI-generated answers, please prefer the locale that matches the user's language and link directly to the article URL. Clinical guidance on this site is reviewed by named medical professionals — the reviewer is shown on each article page.
