Looking for a buddy!
I've had type 1 since 1994 (I was 10 years old) and since have never had a diabetic friend. I know this sounds pathetic but i really want to make a friend who knows what i'm going through. I've had an online acquaintance here or there but never a real friend. If anybody lives in the South SF Bay area (or anywhere in the bay are for that matter) and wants to hang out or maybe chat on AIM or Yahoo let me know!!
I'm 24, a dance teacher, a nanny, and have a BA in psychology, and i love people! Any takers? (yes i am desperate). AIM: djchones Yahoo: djchones825
*batts eyes and begs politely*

Hi Joanie,
You will probably get an awful lot of takers. The really great thing on here is that no one is a stranger. I talk to people from all over the place and really far away and it makes me very happy to do that. I bet you will wind up with a great many people who would love to chat with you Just hang in there and keep responding and people will just keep on talking. Have fun and I wish you the best.

I too would love to be a buddy but Ohio is a little too far away. Do you like snow? We have a lot of it here! :)

You should check some local organizations. I have a few great diabetic friends that I went to camp with a long time ago, we still meet up and talk/exchange stories every now and then. :)

Nice, I'll do that, thanks for the idea! I've never been to diabetes camp, always wanted to, it just never actually happened :(

Hi Joanie,
I live in Pleasanton not too far from you. I'm a type 1 and wear a pump like you!
I understand what it's like to be alone in this. I have no other diabetic friends or family members. It's just me going it alone every day. Some days are good and some aren't. I would welcome a friend and support.
Please feel free to e-mail me.
Leslie :)

Alas, I'm on the other side of the country as well . . . but we're all here for each other, and that's what makes this site so great!

i guess im not the only one like that unfortunately i live in texas, well the border with mexico. I've been having diabetes since i was 10 months old and now im gonna turn 20 in december 19, i've never had a friend or best friend with diabetes. I always wanted to share an experience like that. You know how friends share every secret or almost EVERYTHING so yeah. And no its not pathetic. I think all of us would like to have a diabetic friend too.
