This is my first post EVER and I am new to this whole blogging thing. Sure, i have/had all the "fad" web pages (xanga, myspace, facebook) but I'm a first time blogger today!Not to sound weird or anything but, the past couple of weeks I have been reading and searching the web for Diabetes Blogs and found them quite intriguing. Its nice to read and learn about other peoples' everyday experiences with their Diabetes and see what they do in different situations that they are faced with! It gives me a sense of comfort knowing and reassuring myself that there are a lot of people "just like me" in this world and we are all in it together. That is why I am starting this blog; in hopes of sharing my dlife with others, communicating with them and to maybe even give comfort to someone else searching the web just like I did!
Anyways...to kick off this blog i just want to say a few words. First off, If you haven't already noticed this is a blog about me, my life, and living with Type 1 Diabetes and if your not interested in any of those subjects, I think it would be safe to say; you are in the wrong place!! haha. Also, a little background info on me, I was Diagnosed in November 2003 when I was 12 years old turning 13 in one week, I enjoy talking about diabetes and this is my chance to really get all my feelings, thoughts, and experiences down on paper and out to others! Sure, I have kids in my school with diabetes, but not all of them like to talk about it. I try to talk to them, yet some just don't feel comfortable expressing their situation for some reason, or maybe they are just insecure about the hole idea of having Diabetes. Whatever it may be, I'm not sure , but this is how i will get to share and learn with others who are willing to talk!
This is the beginning of my togetherness with other diabetics and I am pumped (haha) and excited for this new Online Communication experience!!!

Hey Jenna,
Welcome to the joys of blogging and our wonderful online community! I too started blogging after I found other people's blogs. I've had Type 1 diabetes since I was 10 months old.
Just wanted to say hi.
I have a four year old with D.
I am enjoying reading about D from a teenagers perspective, since my son will be a teenager one day.
Welcome to the D blog community!!
