  Moving out on your own for the first time is exciting but extra challenging with T1D. If you’ve made it past the ‘moving out’ transition in your life, what is one piece of advice or something you wish you had known to give to young adults moving out today? If you are a young adult moving out on your own (or still finding your way!), do you have any questions for those who have successfully made the move from parent home to independent living?
  Be excited, but be prepared ! Your on your own and fully responsible for self

  Told my housemates. Pre-blood glucose meters, woke up twice with paramedics in my bedroom. Luckily friends or family members called 911. (1975 and 1976)

  Moving out today, is nothing like moving out 30 years ago. The whole landscape is different. Back then, we barely had human insulin available and finger sticks were an ordeal- my glucometer was a plug in kind- not portable. Basically, the advice is, your body needs care even if you're feeling fine. It's like cooking with a wonky oven - it'll get the job done, but you better check on it often.

  Find a great endo! It really helps. Also a sensor and closed loop insulin pump help wonders.

  I was never by myself when I was young. I moved directly from my parent's house to my husband's duplex when I got married.

  When I moved out on my own, I got married. The first 20 years my husband and I fought over my control of my blood sugars. Then, we went to an Adult Retreat run by ConnecT1D in Seattle. What a life changer that was! So, my wish is for more suggestions on how to explain Diabetes to a new partner/spouse.

  1. Find a good endo right away. 2. ALWAYS have several weeks of supplies on hand especially in areas of bad winter weather. 3. Have accessible glucose for low blood sugars (don't count on having coordination enough to open that bottle of soda). 4. Tell your boss, local EMT services, friends and at least one neighbor about your condition and how to assist you. 5. Have written 'emergency' instructions on the side of refrigerator should you be unconscious. 6. Have a CGM with 'share' features so relatives know you might be in trouble.
