Yup. I found one person who was also a diabetic, but haven't talked to them since meeting.

Well for me at least, the thing about having a real friend with diabetes is that we kinda have to have more in common than just being diabetic, you know? It’s always nice to meet/chat with someone who also has it, but you’re not the only one who feels something still missing sometimes!

I think it’s just nice to have people on an app like this one to share with. ❤️

the only diabetic i know other than myself is my doctor. it is really tough having nobody who fully understands what goes on.

Yes I have

Yes. Not friends anymore with anyone locally who has T1D. Very lonely and easy to isolate myself especially with depression symptoms.

YES! Even tho I have amazing support from my boyfriend, I am the only T1D on both sides of my family & in my circle of friends. No one else associated with my life is Type 1. To say I feel alone is an understatement! It’s honestly harder than the symptoms sometimes!
