Welcome @loulou_rs to the forum. Having a great weekend and good sugars I hope?

You should be an expert after 13 years

Hello and welcome to the forum

Best wishes RRB

 

[loulou_rs]

Teacher123 nope no expert here. diabetes isn't something you can control 100%

 

[becky.ford93]

Does 21 count as "around your age"? Perhaps I'm being optimistic...

 

[loulou_rs]

Aha 21 one is fine

 

[becky.ford93]

Phew!! Whereabouts are you from?

 

[loulou_rs]

hi! im also 17, been diabetic for 7 years! wouldn't say im new to the forum but have just come back after nearly 5 years of not posting! i think it feels very isolating being this age with type 1, and it is rare you meet anyone the same age with diabetes, but I see there are some of us around!
