Did you know that my first diaversary is coming up? I was diagnosed with T1D on November 12, 2015. Since I was diagnosed, it has been a crazy year! I am excited to be walking at my first Breakthrough T1D One Walk in a few days with my family and friends. My team’s name is Nelson’s Ninjas, and our goal is to raise $5,500! My Mom likes to share my story on social media. She tells our friends and family what T1D is and what I have to go through day to day. It helps people understand and learn about T1D. I want people to know that T1D is a mostly manageable disease, yet it is chronic and life threatening. Without a cure, there are no breaks from the T1D. A cure would mean no more worry and constant finger pricks! Especially no more having to count my carbs in my food. I hope to see you at the Breakthrough T1D One Walk on October 15th!
