22 and diagnosed type 1 exactly a week ago
I don't know anyone my age who has diabetes. I'm still struggling to get my BS down. Cant wait to actually know what I'm doing!

There is quite a few people on here around your age. You most definitely ain't alone. It gets a lot easier to manage, especially after looking through the forum. Good luck x

Hi, plenty on here, some nice helpful friendly people. When I was diagnosed I didn't know anyone with type 1, no internet either.
Keep posting and take care x
