My name is Fabiana, I am Brazilian and live in São Paulo city. I am 30 years old and i am diabetic type 1 since i was 12. When I was diagnosed i felt so frightened, my parents tried to help me but they just felt the same as me or even worst. I think this is a natural feeling of someone who´s starting a journey for life, but still don´t know what this journey is. My endo although technically very well prepared, couldn´t help me in a effective way, because before following the treatment i had to accept my condition. That´s when Tu diabetes, a web community of DHF, came into my life. I found Tu Diabetes at the moment that I was most fighting for this turning on my life, and there i found the force to go on. There I got so much support and so much love. Profound love of people i never met, but who feels the same as i do, and fights every day mainly for the same reasons. This is a connection! And this is so motivating!! As i saw that some of the community friends could get through all the difficulties, i realized that I also could. I consider that Tu diabetes is also an oasis, a resting place that i can go anytime i want, to be in touch with people who understands my deepest feelings and needs.

I am a recently diagnosed Type 1 diabetic. Tu Diabetes has become my most trusted community, on or offline, for support and guidance. The community was instrumental in helping make my decision about beginning on an insulin pump and continues to be an almost daily source of support and inspiration for me.

One of the most active communities of people with diabetes online who each provide a tremendous amount of support to one another and the healthcare community at large. It's led by one of the most passionate, smart people I've met, Manny Hernandez. A great cause that deserves your support.

I've been blogging with those affected and effected by diabetes for two and a half months. I found the site by reading a Juneteenth post on Twitter that was linked to tudiabetes.org. Our meeting was fate. I keyed in my info and voilà -I meant new friends, in addition to buddies from Camp Firefly for Diabetics. Our meeting was fate, as we blogged the words to 30 year old camps songs. I connected with someone searching for a person that knows html. This is a site where you blog smiles, tears, frustration, art and more. This is a site were rights are encouraged and wrongs are corrected. This is a site is a blast!
The Great!
