This site is designed to provide useful resources and advice for Type 1 Diabetics preparing for college. The information includes advice from professionals, shared experiences, videos to provide a resource to show your roommate and friends emergency procedures, and more. Having been through the transition myself, I am aware of the need for more guidance when making this big next step in your life! This website also aims to foster a community of young adult diabetics. During college, I find it is especially important to find a supportive group of people who understand your experiences and what you are going through. You are never alone on your journey navigating growing up and diabetes!
