Teen Diabetes Chats Online -- JDRF volunteer launches website
by JDRF-Team-LRS, Jan 22, 2006 12:00AM
We have had a few questions about the creation of a safe Teens with Diabetes Chat area, and I'm delighted to share a new resource from the JDRF volunteer community.
This site was just launched:
http://www.diabetesteentalk.com/
It has LOTS of interesting information and a continuation of chats that were formerly hosted at Diabetesstation.com. Two upcoming guest chats you might want to catch are:
January 24th - Multiple Daily Injections vs. The Pump with Gary Scheiner, CDE.
February 27th - Psychological Effects with Wendy Satin Rapaport
I hope that all our teen readers will check out this site! I sure would've loved to have something like this when I was teen.

This is a great idea as it will help diabetics see that they are not alone with their disease and may help some keep on better track taking care of the disease. i am a type1 diabetic who became diabetic at age 21 and have had it for 33 years now and am still learning new things about diabetes. Good luck,bret

But i live in this little town and theres only me and two other diabetics who i dont know who go to my school. so i honestly dont kow any one who has type one like me, considering the fact no one inmy family has it. so i juss tink it would be AWESOME if i could chat with some kids who are my age and have it:)
