Erin new to tudiabetes
Hey my name is Erin im 17 and i was diagnosed a year ago Friday at Childrens Hospital Boston. I'm still getting the hang of things but i think i've been doing a decent job. My A1C today was 5.9 today at my check up. I'm very active. I am a competitive swimmer and skiier. I live in a small town so I don't know many people my own age with diabetes so its definately comforting to know that i am not alone. It's quite isolating sometimes.
