I've had T1D for almost 14 years now and I've never really met anyone who also has diabetes, would like to meet people my age who understand how stressful it can be☹️
Hi, Molly, I am more than 4 times your age and sometimes I wish I had a buddy going through everything I am going through. Only idea I can think of is that you could start one of the blogs on the forum and kind of keep it as a diary. This would let other people know what you are going through and even if you can't find someone your age to share with, it would probably help a truckload of people and the best thing for those blogs is that they are free. Aside from that, periodically I have seen people around your age group posting messages like looking for friends so maybe you could do a search and find out if some of those people are still on the forum If you do start a blog, I would love to read it even though I could be your grandma
Hi Molly, i was 16 when i was diagnosed, now 25. I don't know a lot of diabetics either so don't worry. How's hour control? I'm a pumper are you? Hopefully your control is good it is a stressful time i assume you're doing exams in high school as well Keep smiling Alison xx
