    I'm 19 years old and have had diabetes for 16 years!
    Never spoke to someone my own age before with diabetes and would love to chat, share experiences etc.
    I definitely feel like controlling my diabetes has got a lot harder over the years, especially my teens!
    Feel free to get in touch because i would love to hear from others around about my age!

    Hi! I'm 23, I've only been diagnosed about 6 weeks ago so I'm still working it out. I have 3 friends that are type 1 also and my age so I guess I'm quite lucky to have their support

    Hiya..I'm Mischa! Only just joined this forum, crazy how things like this exist! When I was little I thought diabetes was so rare. Had diabetes since I was 7 and am 17 now:) I've had so many up and down experiences including a diabetic coma! But seems like you have to just take each day as it comes :) xx

    I'm going to make this reply valid to all people who have commented and comment in the future! Hi everyone, my name is Becky and I am 20 years old! I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes with I was 7 and I must say that at times it is harder to control your diabetes! I've had diabetes for 13 years and I am still learning.
    If anyone fancies a chat please message me :) x

    To doctornayak - wow that is incredible :) I had one ear left of college (going into my 5th year) however I am so glad I waited I don't think I would have managed university and my diabetes back then - an extra three years at college and I don't regret it I have grown as a person and got a better gold on my diabetes now :) still a work in progress but yano... Anyways I'm hoping to get into university and I wish to pursue a career in paediatric nursing :)
    It's great to speak to everyone :) if anyone wants to pm me I'll try and figure out how to reply haha x
