← T1D IRL

Dating

You decide when to share, how much to explain and what support looks like.

QUICK ANSWERS

Share when you feel ready—there is no ‘correct’ date number.

Tell someone how to recognise and help with a low before an overnight stay.

No sugarcoating FAQ

Do I have to disclose T1D immediately?

No. Choose a time that feels safe and relevant. Emergency information matters before situations where you may need their help.

What if someone is weird about my device?

Curiosity can be kind; disrespect is a boundary problem, not a body problem.

General education only. Never stop insulin or use this guide to calculate a dose. Severe low glucose, unconsciousness, trouble breathing, persistent vomiting or suspected DKA needs urgent local medical care.
