A year ago today, I got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Kinda crazy looking back on it all. After feeling sick for a few weeks, I went to see a doctor, and they pretty much diagnosed me on the spot. After being in pretty good health for 18 years, this was a huge shock. Having to prick my finger constantly and being completely dependent on insulin injections multiple times a day was very stressful. Anyone who knows me, knows that I like to joke about it, but this was the hardest time of my life. I was not equipped to handle such a burden, but with such pain comes growth. In the past year, I have learned so much about myself and how to better look inwards. This journey hasn’t been one I’ve been on alone; my friends and family have been a rock for me when I needed the support. I haven’t conquered it yet, but I finally feel like my disability isn’t disabling me from living my life to the fullest, and that’s a good feeling.
