I was diagnosed with diabetes in September 2019.
Before being diagnosed, I had no idea what Type One was, or what the difference was between the types of diabetes. It shocked me how schools could spend a whole week lecturing us about hypothermia, in a state where it rarely snows, hails, or reaches temperatures below 30 degrees, and yet leave out this one disease which affects the lives of millions of people world wide.
Furthermore, I was diagnosed just before the global pandemic hit, so I had no support system, and I never met another diabetic for years. I felt very alone and misunderstood.
T1D isn't an easy thing to battle with, and it took me a year to finally face it.
I have now embraced my diabetes, and painting my insulin pumps is a large part of who I am now and my sense of identity. I wouldn't trade having this condition for the world, but I did want to do a favor for the world: to raise awareness for Type One.
Here on my blog, I will also write about life as a diabetic and diabetic tips, in the hopes that it will make readers feel more understood and less alone.
There are plenty of ways that you can become more involved. Beyond reading my blog, I am also active on Pinterest @CoriType1, or you can sign up for my newsletter! (Coming soon!) Furthermore, if you have any questions or ideas, I am here. :) Feel free to leave a comment or contact me and I will get back to you as soon as possible!
