Looking for a friend

[LisaMcintyre]

My name is Lisa im 21 and I'm a type 1 diabetic and have been for 8 years. Everyday is a constant uphill battle. Had problems with my feet eyes you name it. I'm looking for a penal for someone who is also a t1 so I can discuss things about diabetes that I cannot discuss with anyone else

Hiya,
My name is Zoila
I'm sorry to hear about your battle with diabetes. I'm also type one diabetic and have been for 4 years. So I don't think I would know as much about the disease as much as you. But it'll be awesome to discuss things about diabetes and maybe learn a few things I may not know.

Would be good! my control is quite bad and I just can't get it quite right

Sup i'm also T1 and 21 years old (will be 22 in a couple of months), i've only had my diabetes for about 2 years and 4 months, so I haven't experienced those moments where I feel really depressed and out of control like you have yet. As I see on the news and such, there are always some science programs to look out for in regards to growing organs from your own cells.

However I have a few mental illnesses like anxiety, depression and sensory integration disorder. I had these my whole life, and makes it difficult with my diabetes, but I get along with it, acceptance is nothing new to me so it's all good.

Hi Lisa

I'm an older than you, female and have had type 1 for 24 years, so been through a few diabetic up's and downs.

I do understand the uphill struggles, as I'm sure a lot of others do as well.

Take care, all the best

Hi Lisa, I've been T1 for 5 years. I'm 24 and took diabetes due to an infection I took that then caused my body to attack itself. I don't have and family or friends who are diabetic and I would love to have someone to chat to about it

Hi all,

I'm 28 and have had Type 1 for nine years. Don't know anyone my own age with Type 1 so would be great to talk to someone of similar age about everyday ups and downs.
