Hi All,
I am T1 since May 2010, now a veteran of T1 but still young enuf for T1 to share my thoughts.

Palominovet, I'm 29 and have had type 1 for 13.5 years now. Juggling things is certainly an adventure but I'd be happy to talk with you about it anytime! Welcome to the group, and the diabetes community in general. While diabetes itself isn't any fun the community makes it almost worth it sometimes!

Hi, I was diagnosed on February 10th with type 1 at the age of 26. Just interested in talking to people around my age and how they juggle life with diabetes.

Hey Dianec! I was diagnosed about a month before you were, so I totally understand what you mean! I feel the same way. Welcome to the T1 family :)

Thank you Catherine and Danielle. I will definitely take you up on the offer to chat sometime. Its nice having people who are able to relate to what I'm going through.

Hey dianec! I was diagnosed type 1 a year before you so I totally understand how you're feeling. It really helps having people who know exactly what you're going through. Welcome!!

Hi Dianec,

I was 19 when I was diagnosed a year and a half ago on October 25, 2010. Big changes! Feel free to message me anytime or email me if you want someone to talk to (I can give you my number to call me, too, if you want). Someone did this service for me when I was diagnosed and it was literally a life saver to hear things first hand from someone other than my doctor!

Hope all is well with you so far!

Danielle

Hi everyone! I am 19 years old. I was diagnosed type 1 on January 12, 2012. So I'm pretty new to everything. I definitely think having other people who can relate to my situation really helps. Plus I love meeting new people :)

Alexandria, I would pick up a small, discrete BG meter, and test test test. You don't have to stop partying or clubbing, but you may be able to figure out how many carbs are in that mojito or margarita and how many extra units of insulin you'll need to take to keep your sugars normal.

You may also find that the more you dance, the easier it is to keep your sugars in a lower range. Be a wallflower drinking margaritas 'til the sun comes up and you may find your sugars are over 300 or higher by the end of the night.

Accepting the need to test and keep an eye on your intake (carbs) and output (exercise) will be the first step to conquering Diabetes.
