Question asked by: Danielle (12) ---NSW

Question: Is there a place where I can go to chat to other people with diabetes?

Answer:

Hi Danielle

 

Thanks for emailing the question forum.  We get heaps of requests from kids and teenagers wanting to talk to other people with diabetes. Unfortunately at this stage we can't offer this kind of service on our website for safety and privacy reasons.  We'll keep you posted if this changes….

 

Other ways that you can meet people with diabetes are through diabetes camps, education days or support groups.  Check with your local diabetes service or your nearest major paediatric diabetes service.  Click on the link below to see if there is a camp close to you.
