Connecting with Other T1 Diabetics

I have LADA. I'm afraid I will give up.

With my doctors and few specialists I’ve seen, I’m learning more and more that being the only one with T1D is quite common.

hey! i’m type 1! i see that being the only one that we know in our lives is a trend here haha. i was diagnosed 19 years ago when i was 2 lol

I was diagnosed in December of 2017, when I was 29. That day was the weirdest/worst day . My dietician called me just as I was going back to work from my lunch & she said, “The tests came back & it’s Type 1. Things are going to get worse.” I never understood why she said that last part. Not encouraging at all & it’s always stuck with me.

Hi. I've have Type 1 for 5 years now. I have a cgm, am on syringes and am on a limited carb count. I'd be happy to connect.

I am T1D too. Since 1992. I am the only one from both sides of my family.

I’m type one! Just hit 15 years with it!

I’m type one too been one for 12+ years. I have two types of diabetes actually. Type 1 & diabetes insipidus. I’m trying to get an insulin pump right now because I’m on shots & im burnt out from shots.

I am a type 1 diabetic. Diagnosed 13 years ago at the age of 21.

Yes I’m Type 1 as well. This is a sigh of relief for me because I have family members on both sides that deal with diabetes but I feel like sometimes they still don’t understand what I deal with. On here, I can really be myself and look at other people’s experience and relate to them.

how long have you had T1 for now?

hello! so you’ve got great luck too, i see! i’m the only one on both sides of mine too haha. i’m glad you have the support of your family. that sounds wonderful!

Hey hey! I’m at T1D too! It’s been the fight of my life & I’m the only one on both sides of my family & circle of friends who deals with this shit! Although they are all supportive, It’s nice to be able to connect with people who are going thru the same thing!
