My daughter has metabolic syndrome -- a pre-adult onset diabetes. How can I get her in touch with other teens?


who are in the same situation or who WERE in the same situation who now have diabetes? All of the support groups in our area are for teens with juvenile onset diabetes. I've found the same to be true for on-line support groups. Any help would be much appreciated.

Childrenwithdiabetes.com

It has chat rooms and kids pages. Its a great place. I have been there many times.

Try checking the American Diabetes Association Web site or Diabetes Forecast. They should have areas for teens. Diabetes Forecast usually has a list of pen pals in their magazines, however, they are usually from a really diverse age group.

You can find some good information and home remedies at this website http://ailments.in/diabetes.html

There are many things that can be done to overcome type II diabetes, and improve the life of a Type I diabetic. If you are serious about not being falling victim to it needlessly, get a copy of "One Son's Quest for the Cause and Cure of Diabetes", ISBN 7890766313. It's a life saver, and the best money you'll ever spend on the subject.
It helped me, and my brother, who was dying. We lead mostly normal lives now. Best of luck.
