How a 13-Year-Old Diagnosed with T1D Built the Insulin-Dosing App He Needed!

What happens when the diabetes app you desperately need doesn’t exist—so you build it yourself? In this episode, Madi Cheever sits down with Drew Mendelow, founder of T1D1, the nonprofit behind the first FDA-cleared, completely free insulin dosing and diabetes management app designed specifically for people living with type 1 diabetes. Diagnosed at just 13 years old, Drew turned an overwhelming diagnosis into a mission to remove barriers to diabetes care. Today, Drew says the T1D1 app has reached more than 50,000 users, helping people calculate insulin doses, track data, and share information with healthcare providers—without ads, subscriptions, or hidden costs. 🔑 What You’ll Learn in This Episode ● Why there were no free FDA-cleared insulin dosing apps before T1D1 ● How the T1D1 app helps those who are newly diagnosed manage care from day one ● Why access, affordability, and offline functionality matter globally ● Real stories from parents, school nurses, and older adults using the app ●  What’s next for T1D1, including international expansion and language translations 📲 Where to Listen & Watch: 🎧 Available on all major podcast platforms - Search for ‘Direct Diabetes.’ 📺 Watch the full episode on YouTube - Links at ⁠TypeOneTypeFun.com⁠ and ⁠DirectDiabetes.com⁠ ➕ Follow & Stay Connected ●      Follow @Type.One.Type.Fun for more episodes hosted by Madi Cheever ●      Follow @T1D1 to learn more about the app and its global mission ●      Follow @DirectDiabetes, which presents these episodes, ships CGMs and pump supplies to patients' homes and handles the insurance headaches so you don't have to.
