The Friday Five, Aug. 9

Hi Everyone!
 
Hope you are all having a fabulous week! I am pleased to present you this week’s Friday Five!
 
T1D Tuesday
This past Tuesday we kicked off the month with Back to School. Be sure to check our first blogger Dana writing about being diagnosed with T1D in college.
 
Featured Group: JDRF Austin Chapter!
Membership in the JDRF Austin group will provide you with a discussion forum, and also to find other members who live in your area. You can also join any of our sub-groups dedicated to certain topics and locations.

You can post local events created by you or by the JDRF, which include but not limited to: advocacy, support groups, fundraising events and more… Make this group your own local support forum, right here on TypeOneNation! – See more at: https://typeonenation.org/all_groups/jdrf_chapter_groups/jdrf_austin/default.aspx#sthash.870VYRpB.dpuf
 
Hot Topic: To pump or not to pump?
One of our members Victoria is looking to transition from insulin pens to a pump and will also be leaving for college soon. If you can please visit the insulin pump thread here and share your experience! 
 
Congratulations to the Best in Class!!
The 2013 JDRF Scholarships have been awarded, and this year’s recipients epitomize the highest standards throughout their lives—in school, in their communities, with their families and peers, and in the T1D community. These four students do us all proud by showing us not only how to manage the burden of T1D, but how to triumph over it. Congratulations to the scholarship class of 2013—we haven’t heard the last of you yet! Read more>>
