You got this champ!!

I'm cautious to avoid junk food, and I still get a bit nervous when someone asks, Did you get diabetes? Because you ate a lot of sweets, which, for the record, no, I didn't. It's been over eight years now, and I've learned to take diabetes as a motivation to prove that I can do whatever I set my mind to, and nothing can come in the way, whether that's a chronic disease or something else

Hello everyone my name is Diya and I wanted to share my personal experience about how I handled being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.

Go go go !🍿🙏🍿🙏

I love everything about what you just said, not only the attitude you have for yourself, but your ability to transform that into a message to others. And I want to follow your journey. I want to follow your mental journey and your physical journey. I find it really interesting when we think about language around diagnosis and how that could box us in. It seems like you have a freedom around this. So thank you so much for being in the moment you are in sharing it with us
