    Hello! Glad I'm not the only t1d who has never had a diabetic buddy after so many years! I was diagnosed at 8 years old too, but I'm turning 33 in a few weeks and I wanna brag how good I am, but that would be a lie. Thought I'd join in and answer your questions! Tell something about yourself...
