@LarissaW, so glad to see you join us! Welcome! I loved your story and how you told it: > [@My Story - DX'ed at age 6; going on to med school now](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/my-story-dxed-at-age-6-going-on-to-med-school-now/6257/): > > Hi all. I’m new to the community, so I thought I’d share a bit about me… and what better way than through the 1st paragraph in my personal statement to medical school: Six years old, sitting on my hands in my primary physician’s office, I wondered why he wouldn’t look up from his clipboard as he stated that I had Type 1 diabetes. He did not try to relate to how my family and I would manage my new condition. My mom was away on business trips every weekend and my dad tended to faint while handling… Everybody welcomed you on that thread, so I thought I would welcome you here—I don’t want new members to believe we ignore new intros! I am really proud of the fact that you are now in med school. Because of the stress and the number of hours, I know that this will not be an easy time for you with D. But, for sure, there are a lot of people here who may be able to help, or just to be around when you are a bit down! I really look forward to reading more from you. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/welcome-introduce-yourself-here/145)._
