Snail Mail

Snail Mail is a great way for Type One Diabetics to share diabetes knowledge and advice. Whether through mail or email you get to learn more about the person you are assigned to. They will usually put you with someone who has a similar diagnosis date, and a different location. This is so you and your pen pal are able to relate with diabetes and learn about other places and cultures. I love this program because you can create bonds while also with a T1D. You can learn more diabetes strategies and how others your age manage the condition.

What is Snail Mail? Snail Mail is a pen pal programs for Type One Diabetics living in any country. Worth this program you can write letters to or email your assigned pen pal, but get this: they also have T1D. This is a great way to connect with other diabetics and create bonds. You are paired up with someone with similar interests but usually a different location. This is so you can learn more about another culture or place, as well as learning about how another kid your age manages their autoimmune disease.

Snail Mail is a great way to learn more about diabetes and grow in your management. It is also a great way to get involved in the T1D community because you get to meet someone else with Type One Diabetes and how they manage it. Snail Mail can also help you to create bonds with other diabetics, even if only by mail or email. Snail Mail can help you to create friendships with diabetics, learn more about others’ diagnosis, have someone with T1D to relate to, and much more. Just having a diabetic to write to can help you to feel better about T1D and to understand that others are going through what you are.

How can you join Snail Mail? Here is a place to learn more about how Snail Mail works and how to sign up. Most of the questions are to get to know you or your child, but some of them are to pair you up with the right person for you. You can choose someone out of the country, or in, as well as if you would like to communicate via letter or email. There is also a section to share some of your interests and diagnosis date. All of this information is used when the company chooses the right pen pal for you.

I love Snail Mail because you can relate to someone with Type One Diabetes in a fun way. I love to write, so I think that it is awesome that I can get to learn more about how other people manage T1D. Snail Mail is something that I would highly recommend to anyone with diabetes.
