Hello, I would like to be friends with someone roughly my age with type 1 diabetes. I am 11 years old and I got diagnosed in May. I am going to high school in September and I am a bit worried about it. I would like a friend who knows what it's like to have diabetes. :)

hey I'm a lot older than you but have been through both primary school and high school with diabetes! I can say that high school is a lot different to primary because you tend have abut more freedom but it can also be scary because you haven't got your parents to help as much! if I could give you both some advice it would be be open about your diabetes the more you hide it the more the other kids will try and make an issue of it! good luck. <3

All my old class members know about it and my new teachers know and my sister has told her friends but some people still try and make fun of me?! One of them called me fat so I asked him how much he weighed and it turns out he is quite a bit heavier than me!! Lol

there will always be someone to take the mick out of you! just think if you didn't have diabetes they would probably pick on someone else or find something different about you! kids are mean these days and you need to stand up for yourself and not let them pick on you!!! don't ever listen to anything a bully ever says to you! good luck but I'm sure you'll be fine!
