Hi All, Are there any Type 1’s living in southern Delaware ? My husband and I moved here a year ago and I’d love to find a support group to meet /talk with. I’ve had T1 for 50 years and am recently retired.  
Thanks, Joanne

I live in Delaware near Middletown and I was just diagnosed with type one. I’m 39 and I have a chows disease. I have no support and my family does not understand my disease. I’m looking for other people like me because I feel confused all the time.

Hi Brittney, I’m way down south in DE, but here’s the link for what appears to be your local chapter [JDRF T1D Support - Greater Delaware Valley Chapter](https://www.jdrf.org/greaterdelawarevalley/).  
I’ve had T1D for 50 years, since age 8 so I’m happy to answer questions. Everyone on this site is helpful, you will learn a lot and can ask whatever questions you have. -Joanne
