Re: Hi there!

My names Kate and im 14...had type 1 diabetes since i was 5. Im new here and looking for awesome people to talk to...so lets chat =)

Hi kate! My name's Marieke, I'm 12 and was just recently diagnosed with diabetes on the 20th. I hope you don't mind my asking, but was it hard for you to understand what you had to do daily when you were 5? 

Hello, I'm Travis. I've been a T1 since I was 2, which was 26 years ago prettymuch. I'm kinda happy I was dx'ed at so young because I never had to really adjust to a new lifestyle. I'm sure being 12, you have to change a lot of your routines.

Hello Kate, I was 15 when I was diagnosed with diabetes. I am a T1. I have had a lot of up's and down's but I am now 27.

I agree Travis. I was diagnosed at age 5, I'm 31 now.

Hi guys,

I'm Megan and I was diagnosed when I was 6. I'm 23 now, so it's been 17 years. I am with Travis, all I remember of my life "pre-diabtetes" was my 4th birthday cake, cuz it had a gum-drop rainbow on it. I can't imagine how frustrating and confusing all this must be and if  "we" as the collective diabetic community can do anything to help, just ask!

Hey Kate!

Whenever you wanna jut chat it up or have questions, feel free to shoot em my way! I am always online with school and such, and always glad to talk/help a fellow T1er!

I was diagnosed at age 10, whch wasnt too bad, as I had not really had the need or want for alot of sweets and such back when I was that age, although it took some time for me to readjust to things, as Im sure you know... Maybe thats why I became obsessed with every aspect of Halloween outside of the Trick R Treating
