Hi All,

My daughter is 6 years old and we are coming up to our 1 year post diagnosis. Mabel (Our daughter) has taken it all in her stride however we are very conscious that she dosen't have any friends or know other children of a smiliar age with Type 1 that she can socialise with.

We live in Dorset and would like to know if there are any groups where parents and Children with type 1 can meet/communicate and any events that are organised to enable family's to meet?

Thanks in advance.
Dan

Thank you
 
Also talk to your diabetes team. Ours do an annual year group event for all their kids which can be a day in a village hall doing activities or a day out at a local adventure place of similar. Covid interrupted it all a bit but they’re back doing them now.
