I think CWD is a perfect introduction to life with diabetes, because there are so many kids and teens living with the disease. It's a great place for a young person to make some friends, and for you as a parent, to learn from their experiences and from the experiences of the faculty (almost all have diabetes...). Unless your teen is extremely shy or just hates groups of people, then you might want to start out going to a smaller support group and wait another year or two. But if your teen likes to meet new people, there's absolutely no reason why you would need to wait. I think now is the perfect time to get exposed to teens who are comfortable with themselves.
