I'm Kara and I'm 20 years old, I was diagnosed with Type 1 May 2010. I'm very much used to it by now even though sometimes it gets annoying as I'm sure it does to everyone. Has anyone here dated another Type 1? I want to get to know more people with Type 1 because I don't know anyone else.
Hey, Kara! I've never dated a Type 1, but that's mainly because the only Type 1 I've ever really known was my friend's mom and he told me she was off limits.
Hi! A man dated me!! We have been married for 21 years! I also have 3 kids and was dx'ed when I was 5. It can be a challenge to date with diabetes but not impossible. everyone finds their own niche and works with it. Good luck!
I'm 29 and been a type I for about 13 years now (I was diagnosed in 9th grade). I myself do not know any type I diabetics besides one co-worker, and one co-worker whose son was just recently diagnosed. I have never dated a diabetic, but have dated my current husband for 8 years and married for 1, and he never had any problem with it. In fact I taught him about and make him give me shots every once in a while in case he would ever have to :) It's just a way of life to me! But it is nice to have people to talk to who can understand what you are going through.
