Case Study: Beyond Type 1 builds a thriving diabetes community with Mighty Networks

These two communities are helping over 54,000 people impacted by diabetes to live well, now

Beyond Type 1, a nonprofit focused on diabetes advocacy, education, and cure research, needed a better way to help people impacted by Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes connect, share practical advice, and find a safe space to talk about sensitive health challenges. The organization also wanted a community platform that could support quick feedback loops for content and program planning. Mighty Networks helped power that community experience with Mighty Pro and branded apps.

Mighty Networks built fully branded native apps for Beyond Type 1 and the private Beyond Type 2 community, giving the nonprofit a dedicated space for discussions, moderation, events, courses, and member engagement. The result was strong organic growth and highly active participation, including a community of over 50,000 people in Beyond Type 1 and nearly 500 in Beyond Type 2, plus rapid response to polls with examples like 400 responses on a single question. Mighty Networks also enabled the team to gather real-time insights that improved content strategy and supported its broader mission to help people live well with diabetes.
