Hi, I'm Emma from London, England. I'm almost 19 and was diagnosed with Type 1, April 10th 2018. It would be great to find some diafriends who understands what I'm going through. Have great support at home with friends and family but they don't get the emotional side to everything

Hypos, rude people, ignorance and grey days.
Hi @EmmaJ99 its true it can be lonely and no one else really seems to get it, hopefully you'll make many friends as you get to know your type 1 here :)

Hello Emma and welcome to the forum. I'm George and i was diagnosed in January 1st, 2015 (No kidding, that's how i celebrated New Year's Day). I'm glad you have the support you need from your family and friends. But it's also true that since they've never gone through what you have, they can't really sympathise. Feel free to ask anything around here, people are vey supportive. My piece of advice would be: Don't let it get to you, it's not the end. Life can be as hard or as easy as you like. Follow some instrunctions and you'll get back to your everyday life in no time. And don't forget, we are all here to help each other. Have a nice life Emma. :)
