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.

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.

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.

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!
