Thanks. :) I've been stopping by this site more often, now that I only have just one class to worry about at school.

Hello your family is the exact type of family I was looking for to be in this group. Welcome...

Hey, my name's Cara, and I'm not exactly sure if I am supposed to be in this group, but I'll try anyway. :) I'm type 1, dxd at age 8, and my dad is type 1 as well, dxd at age 21 I think. Both my cousins are type 1s as well, and they were both dxed recently. They are in their mid 20s (I'm 27, almost 28). That's all the type 1 that I'm aware of, thank goodness. I have a niece that was born 3 months ago, and I really REALLY hope that she never gets it.

Hello...I have two kids with diabetes. My daughter is 16 and was diagnosed at 4 and my son was diagnosed in Feb. 2009 at the age of 10. It's been interesting!

Hi, I'm Seda. I was diagnosed at age 12. My fiancé was diagnosed at age 3. We met during a diabetes camp. We plan to marry on September. My father and his father are also diabetic, but type 2. ;))

Hi, my name is Erin too! Hi Erin M. Whitcomb.
I was diagnosed 5/21/1972 at age 2 1/2 (tomorrow is my 37th anniversary!) and my brother, who is 3 years younger than me, was diagnose 6/15/1974 at the age of 23 mths. My mom did some family research and found that a Great-Great-Great grandmother somewhere on her side had diabetes, but I don't recall the details.

Hi, my name is Erin. I was diagnosed at age 12 (8/1997) and I have a brother who is 13 months older who was diagnosed at the age of 2. We were the only two in our family (both our mom and dad's side of the family) who were diagnosed with type 1 until my mom, at the age of 37, was diagnosed with type 1 insulin dependent. If you have a sibling with type 1 there is a 50% chance that you will be diagnosed with it as well, as in my case.

Hi. My name is Kimberly. Both of my children have T1. We do not have any previous family history of T1 before my kids were diagnosed. Trevor was dx at 4 yo and is now 10 yo. Taylor was dx at 6 yo and will be 8 in May.
