Hi guys,
I’ve been feeling pretty isolated recently and feel like I don’t really have any to turn to who actually understands. I don’t know any other type 1’s and I wanted to change that!
I’m 23yrs old and live in Surrey. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in organising a group or something. I was thinking just females for now maybe aged between 18-30 so we could talk about diabetes and down days amongst ‘normal’ things and actually become friends and a good support for one another.
I’m so sick of going out and being the only one with a pump and a sensor and everyone looking, pointing and asking me what it is and how it works. It’s great to spread info on all the amazing technology but not when I’m trying to enjoy myself!
I was down the pub the other day and my partners friend realised I was diabetic and he actually cried for me! I just want to go out for once and it actually be ‘normal’ to inject or get out your pump!
So I was thinking trying to arrange a lunch or coffee meet up but not sure if this would be of interest or benefit others? Or even just chatting on here.
Please let me know what you all think or private message me if you want
Ellie
