T1D Resources?

 

Why yes we have resources!

     When I was diagnosed at the age of 16 it was incredibly hard for me. I was considered past the age to have Type 1 because it is known as Juvenile Diabetes for a reason. Finding a support group, T1 camp, or educational classes not designed for nine year olds and under was non-existent in my area. Not even the hospital and doctors could help me much education wise. I learned it on my own mainly. It wasn't until two years ago that I started really searching for some support groups.
     Mom, wife, full-time employee....I always put myself last and being a diabetic I cannot do that! I found on facebook a Women's T1 Support group. It is amazing! It feels good to have a place with women and feel at home to talk about the struggles. I also follow two blogs. Below I will post some blogs for anyone to check out!

Please support and encourage the T1 in your life- we didn't ask for this!
