Hello guys! My name is Christina and I'm new here. I'm 13 years old and I don't know many teens with T1D :(
I was diagnosed last year, when I was 12 years old. It would be nice to meet other teens with T1D, because we all have the same problems with school, friends, family etc. Please answer here if you're interested in meeting other teens too :) It would mean much to me!
Not a teen anymore here!
I don't know the situation in Greece but here in Italy we have many local groups of diabetics and there's plenty of teens.
I'm sure you are going to find many here online but I suggest to look around and try to meet them in person!
Take care Christina ;)
Hi Christina -
There is a group for teens with T1 - you'll probably make some connections if you sign up. One of the members of the Care Team, Caren, is only a couple of years older than you. Maybe you can look her up.
