Hi.
My name is Katie & I am new to this site so I just thought that I would write a quick post to introduce myself to all of you folks. I think that it would be so nice to have a community of friends (even just online) who "get" what it's like to be a teenager with diabetes & have been looking for a way to do that for some time now, this seems like a great site =].
So... I am 16 years old and have been a diabetic since I was 2 (diabetics seem to like to ask each other this sort of thing when they meet so there it is lol). I volunteer with JDRF as a "teen ambassedor". Some of the things that I enjoy doing are reading, writing, horseback riding, running, & hanging out with my offline friends. My dream is to travel & see the world. Basically I am new & hoping to make some friends on here so if your friendly & would like to chat drop me a message.
Peace out.
Katie Jane
Hey katie!
Thanks for posting! That's so cool you're a "Teen Ambassador" for the JDRF! What does that involve?
You said you hope to travel the world-- where have you been so far? I've really only been Italy, France, and Japan (which was so cool, by the way, add that to your list!).
Oh and I have another question: What's your favorite thing about having diabetes??
Nice to meet ya!
Ginger
