When I got home from the hospital, I asked my parents if they knew anyone that had a daughter my age with T1D (Type One Diabetes). I was so happy to hear that they had a lot of phone numbers to call so I could get to know someone else my age with T1D. In fact, I was so happy that every single night I asked if they would make some calls. They still haven't, only because when I ask them to call, it's always 10:00! I've always wanted to meet someone my age with T1D. Well, I haven't always wanted to meet them, because I was only just diagnosed :). I just feel like if I had a best friend with T1D, I wouldn't feel so alone. The only time I've had a deep conversation with someone with T1D is my uncle, Jeff. It felt soooo good just to talk to him and relate to each other, and even tell stories about moments where we had hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) or hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). I just felt like I could let my feelings out and actually relate to someone. It would just be so nice if I could do that more often.
