As adults we are all responsible for our own safety, plans, and materializing our desires such as reaching out to others and making connections. If this is impossible for a group member to do, then I highly encourage they seek help from a professional who can help them navigate and make their own tools. This group in no form or way replaces or comes close to replaci …

It's hard enough being an adult without having to worry about your health everyday. Living with type-1 diabetes can make you feel alienated and alone.

This group's purpose is to meet with other type-1 diabetics who are successfully and not so successfully "managing" their blood sugar. I certainly don't have everything figured out …

Also, I looked around through peering eyes as if seeing running water for the first time and there was no one I could share my "diagnosis" and cocktail of symptoms with as a …
