I was diagnosed when I was 7 years old and had to be hospitalized for almost two weeks until we got my blood sugar under control. They told me I had diabetes for at least 8 months before being diagnosed. It’s a miracle within itself that I survived that long with no diagnosis. I am […]

In the summer of 2012 I was on vacation with my sister and my grandparents. We drove to California from Colorado to go to Disneyland. It was my first time there and I had such an amazing time. I didn’t wanna come home, but sadly, after a week, it was time. Upon the drive home, […]

I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes the summer before I started kindergarten, and what a journey it’s been since!

When I was diagnosed in October of 2000 I first began treatment with NPH and R. Eventually, Lantus and Humalog and by 5th grade I got my first pump! It was a pink Medtronic. There have been many struggles along the way but I am so grateful for the technology that allows me to live […]
