Sunaina Padiyar
I was diagnosed on October 12, 2013 at 8 years old. My whole world was flipped upside down! It was okay for a while, having my parents to help me manage but once I got to high school, my burnout hit really hard. The stress of being at my 4th new school in 4 years plus managing type 1 in a new environment was not fun. That all changed when I started going to a diabetes summer camp! The community there helped me realize I am not alone in my hardships and that I can thrive with type 1! I couldn’t be more proud of myself for always pushing through even when it gets insanely hard.
since 2013
