[QUOTE="KK123, post: 1863164, member: 451727"] All the advice given here is good but I suspect it is mainly from older people who are talking about their struggles 30 plus years ago. It reminds me of trying to give advice to the younger generation now about (non diabetes) issues we faced years and years ago, it is a whole different society and a generational difference. Although diabetes remains the same of course, the way young people socialise now is massively different and it feels to me like Banana may benefit from those around her age in very similar situations. There seems to be such a lack of support (other than this site) and I'm not sure if that is because there are fewer type 1's out there or there is a lack of will. Banana, I cannot help you but I wonder if you could ask to be put in touch with other teenagers at Uni (yours or others) with type 1? It seems as if you feel isolated and this in turn causes a vicious circle with diabetes all mixed up in the middle of it. You are NOT a freak, there must be many individuals coping with all sorts of conditions whilst at Uni maybe all of them hiding away and suffering. Is it possible you could strive to get a group going? x [/QUOTE]
