Hello fellow Diabetes Forum folks

I am a T-1 and have been for 22 years. I am now 25 so I was diagnosed very shortly after my 3rd birthday. So far things are going well on the medical front and I hope to keep it that way.

I would like to connect with other diabetics or mentor young ones. I have volunteered at diabetes camps and love working with kids. I've been where they are and like to show them they can lead happy, healthy lives so parents, if your kid needs to talk let them know I (and others) are availible if they feel alone.

Alex.

Hi Alex, welcome! I admire your wanting to help children with diabetes. I was diagnosed in 1945, when I was 6, and am very healthy. You are probably a member of children with DIABETES Online Community. That is an excellent site for connecting with parents and their diabetic children.

Thanks for wanting to reach out and help!

Richard
