Need Support?
Don’t be Afraid to Reach Out!
If you ever have any questions or need advice, want support or someone to talk to about the struggles you face with diabetes, consider looking to one of these groups:
Join SACKID Little Kids with Diabetes or SACKID Teen and Young Adults with With Type 1 Diabetes on Facebook to get any of your questions answered! This is a great community for parents and teens in the Sacramento area who may need guidance and/or support from those who are going through the same experience(s) as them in the region! https://m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=126187207438903&ref=content_filter
If you aren’t familiar with it, Reddit is an online forum where people around the world can talk with one another! Check out the subreddits u/T1Diabetes and u/Diabetes where you can ask any questions you may have! You will mostly get at least one response within a couple hours!
PENS team
The PENS team in Sacramento holds many diabetic group activities each month - pump classes, teen group, etc. Consider checking them out online to learn more! http://www.checksutterfirst.org/children/services/outpatient/pens-team.html
YouTube/Blogs
YouTube is a great place to go to for advice, stories, insight, and tips relating to diabetes! Whenever I have a question or inquiry, I type it into YouTube and usually get at least five videos about the topic! If you’re interested, check out my blog http://type1mind.blogspot.com/search/label/Stories for stories, advice, and guidance about life with diabetes, or my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiug8IHh9UoOcphK5eO58LA/videos
