Hi I have a 13 yearold who has had type 1 for the past 10 years. She is now expressing an interest in trying to connect with other teens who she can talk and relate to who also have type 1. She’d probably be good to talk to for newly diagnosed teens as she is pretty competent with her knowledge and experience from her own self management. Thanks.

Hi Alyson @Alysonross, welcome to the TypeOneNation site.
Yes, there are many teens on this site, both newly diagnosed and long-term, who would look forward to “meeting” your daughter - some of the teens here have set up a chatroom.
Also, to meet other teens in your area, I suggest that you look into the JDRF Chapter that serves your area. She could also attend “diabetes” events in your area.
Look under the “Events Tab” at the top of this page for happenings around you, of go on jdrf.org for more.
If you and she could attend a TypeOneNation Summit, I think you will be inspired by the number of teens and families meeting and talking.

Hi Alyson! I’m Abby; I’m 15 years old and I’ve had T1D since I was 7. It’s nice to meet you!
I would absolutely love to connect with your daughter! If she has Snapchat, I can add her to my group chat of teenagers with T1D; it’s an awesome place to make new friends who understand what it’s like to live with T1. If she doesn’t have snapchat, please give her my email address and we can be email pals!
