Hi everyone! I’m Clara and I’m almost 16. I am looking for other type 1s to talk to and maybe become friends with! I have had diabetes for almost 5 years and never met anyone with it!

Hi, Clara, and welcome to TypeOneNation! Another teen your age literally just posted that she was looking for more teens with T1D:
Plus there’s a Snapchat group that another poster here, Abby @bookwormnerd13, put together for teens:
Let us know how it goes!

Hi Clara. I don’t know if you saw the post from below. I am Haley a 15 year old. I would love to become friends with you
Hi Haley! That would be awesome! What contact is good for you?
I can give you my phone number or my snapchat username. What is easier for you?
If you click on each other’s name, there’s an envelope icon that lets you PM, so you don’t have to post contact info publicly. No one wants to attract creepy stalker-types.

Hi @claraanne I fixed your account so you can private message now. Just click the username to send messages. Good luck

Thanks! My daughter was diagnosed about six years ago, too, and she’s about your age. She’s pretty cool — want her to send you a PM just to say “hi”?
