Hi, my name is Jenny. I am 27 years old. I just moved from Oklahoma to Talent, Oregon with my husband and my 5 month old son. I was diagnosed with diabetes when I was 5 years old. I would just like to find other people who understand what I have to go through everyday.

Welcome, Jenny. This is a good, small place to find people who know!

Hi Joyce, welcome! It can be frustrating when you do not know any other type 1 diabetics in your own area. This support group is a good substitute. I was diagnosed in 1945, when I was 6, and am very healthy. There are several type 1 diabetics here, so ask all the questions you want.

Hi Jenny, welcome to the forum. I am sure you are lucky you escaped the Oklahoma heat this summer. My niece lives in Norman and says they have been dreadfully hot. I have always heard Oregon is a great place to live. Lots of my son's friends have moved from Ohio to Portland. This is a great place for support and just friendship, just like a big family.

Thanks everyone. Yes, I love it here in Oregon. It's just I struggle everyday to eat right and keep my diabetes under control. I can use all the advice I can get.
