My younger brother was diagnosed type 1 back in Dec 2011. He is only 7. I find it really hard, I'm struggling to cope with it, I can't imagine how he feels. :(
I would like to meet other people in my situation.
I am 9yrs old. :problem:

Hi,
I I'm a type 1 diabetic and I have a sister who is T1. However, she is 18 and I'm only 11 :crazy: . We were diagnosed 1 year apart ( I was 2, she was 7) and eventhough both of us having diabetes for so long , she still feels sorry for me. The point is your brother will learn to deal with T1 with your help. However, when he's High or Low leave him alone otherwize he will get mad at you for no reason what so ever (I learn from personal experience).
