Hi, I’ve had T1D for over 12 years , and I have never had any kind of community or peer support … I’m 25 years old, and I really need people in my life who also have T1D. I just moved to North Texas from Phoenix, and I feel so lonely. To top things off, switching doctors and leaving my family has super hard on my blood sugar … anyone in the area looking for friends ? Or even just advice and support over the internet is very much appreciated. Side note : I just found out yesterday I’m pregnant … and T1D is making me really scared. So any support there would be appreciated … 🙂 thank you. - Fellow T1D Human, Hannah ---

Hi @Hannah36910 welcome to Type One Nation. Moving is really hard and one of the top stressors. I’m hoping things settle down as you make a new life for yourself. You can also try finding a JDRF chapter if there is one nearby it is another way to network with T1, you click this link [https://www.jdrf.org/chapter-finder/](https://www.jdrf.org/chapter-finder/) and put your zip code in. Anyway I think online support is helpful too, because we’re all here to help each other. ---

@Hannah36910 _Welcome Hannah to the JDRF TypeOneNation Community Forum!_ As @Joe wrote, on-line support can be good too, and there are many here listening to you and lots of diabetes management skills shared. But nothing is better than in-person sharing as we navigate through life, and our shared life with the intricacies of diabetes - I’ve lived with diabetes since the 1950s. After moving from the Boston area to the gulf shores of Florida I found a group of people with diabetes [PwD] who net regularly over coffee through a JDRF Chapter - I fisrt made contact at a TypeOneNation Summit, and then volunteered at a JDRF Walk. ---

Hi! I’m in the DFW and open to chatting if you wanted! I’m 28 years old and would love to met other T1Ds as I moved to the area a few years ago!
