Little late, but very new here! I'm 17 and I was diagnosed with t1 about 2 weeks ago. I'd love for some people my age to talk to, I'm coping very well but it wouldn't hurt to have someone to talk with that have had t1 for a long(er) time than me! Plus, I love cooking and baking, so I'd love to exchange new recipes and ideas :) shoot me a message anytime !

Hey there, I'm 20 years old and have had t1d since I was 7. It's been a roller coaster the past 13 years but I'm loving day to day finding all the positives. Gets hard because I have no family with diabetes or any friend or people around me so it's hard to relate. I also love in the U.S. So medical supplies aren't free which gets me mind boggled. Would also love someone to chat with
