IT’S MY DIABETES ANNIVERSARY! 🥳 • • 23 years ago today I was rushed to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital where I was formally diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, just a few weeks shy of my second birthday. I’ve been through hell and back with this disease, and many of the illnesses I have today are a direct cause of diabetes, from my gastroparesis to my kidney failure. This disease has taught me to be resilient, to prioritize my physical and mental health, and to constantly remind people that this is more complex than just “don’t eat sugar”. • • Enjoy this pic of me and my older sister before my diagnosis 🤗 https://www.instagram.com/p/CM7yJ4PJ_qC/?igshid=1emo7bdgp5gry
