    Hi I was diagnosed about 3 weeks ago with T1D, looking for friends around my age? (11-13) Would also be grateful for any tips doing my bg test (I hate it)

    Hi Izzy, well I think you're called izzy anyway aha. I'm Paige and I'm 11 years old. I was diagnosed with T1D about just over a month ago, so we're pretty similar. I'm here to talk of you want to, as it would be good to have a friend who is going through something the same as me (if that makes sense haha) xx

    Hi Izzy (assuming that's your name, I'm sorry for assuming if it's not),
    My name is Ruby, and I'm 10, but I'm turning 11 in 5 months, but I was still wondering if you'd like to chat? I won't be offended if you don't want to. I'm a Type 1 Diabetic and was diagnosed on 23rd March 2017, so I've had it for nearly three months now. I'm really lonely, as the only other Type 1 Diabetic I know is a boy in my year but he's had the condition since before school and is on a pump, whereas I am on injections, so I don't feel like I can relate to him in any way. I'd love someone to talk to, if you'd like to text me and I'll give my number.

    Ruby x
    (I know that sounds a bit forward of me, but I'm really desperate for a diabetic to talk to here!!)

    Hi Izzy. I'm 11 and was diagnosed about 18 months ago (I know it's longer than you) but I don't have many people to talk to either.
