After being diagnosed in a day and age with no social media, I was always ashamed and embarrassed of my diabetes diagnosis. This January changed when I decided to make a funny little TikTok video about diabetes and got wonderful feedback. I then decided to create an account dedicated to diabetes content and have now started a live stream called TYPE ONE TUESDAYS where I get on my TikTok with other type ones in the community and talk about all things type one. It has been such a liberating experience and now instead of being ashamed and embarrassed, I feel empowered, free, and completely liberated.
