“Don’t let diabetes define you. When I was diagnosed I thought my life was over, turns out it was just beginning. When I was first diagnosed I truly was nervous about what people were going to think of me. It took me 2 weeks to become public with my diagnosis and it’s the best decision I could have ever made. Everyone was so supportive and loving. And I have met some of the most AMAZING people due to this journey. It has also opened up a lot of amazing opportunities for me! I am proud of my diabetes, and proud of myself!!”
