About us

Hello and welcome to T1D Merch - a brand born from lived experience, community, and the feeling that something important was missing.

In May 2025, just before my 30th birthday, I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. It came unexpectedly during a routine check-up — no drama, no crisis, just a quiet but life-changing shift. Suddenly, my world was filled with blood sugar levels, insulin, carbs, and a thousand small decisions every day. And yet, life was supposed to carry on as normal.

In the midst of figuring everything out, I discovered the T1D community - a space full of warmth, understanding, and connection. It was something I didn’t even know I had been missing.

But even there, I noticed a gap:
There was no merchandise that truly reflected who we are.
Nothing that spoke our language - our thoughts, our humor, our tired sighs, and our quiet victories.

So, I created T1Dmerch.se - a place for clothing and caps that represent the real us.
With designs and quotes that only someone with T1D will truly get.
For those moments when you just want to feel seen - and maybe laugh a little through the tough days.

But this brand is about more than just cool gear.

We also support the Childhood Diabetes Foundation (Barndiabetes fonden) - because no child should grow up with constant glucose checks, injections, and worry. Kids deserve to be kids.
Free. Playful. Fearless.

A portion of every purchase goes toward helping that vision become reality.

We’re doing this for them.
And for all of us living with type 1 diabetes - together.
