197. The 25-Year Mark: My Reflections of A Quarter Century Lived With Type 1

Today, I’m reflecting on my 25th diaversary, 25 years since I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. In the past, I’ve shared this day with my parents on the podcast, but this year I felt called to sit down solo and really process what this milestone means. From the memories of my diagnosis at seven years old to the lessons I’ve learned along the way, I’m sharing how my relationship with diabetes has evolved over a quarter of a century. My hope is that no matter where you are in your journey, five seconds in or fifty years, you’re reminded that it’s never too late to shift lanes, grow, and create the life you want with diabetes.
