Advocating for Your Own Health As an Adult Diagnosed T1D

5 May  2021

Being an adult diagnosed with type one diabetes can feel overwhelming.

 

There are a lot of questions about this new way of managing your life.

A lot of old habits and decision making patterns to reverse. 

And pieces to put together in everyday life - how will this affect my career? My relationships? My love for traveling?

There is more to it all than what's prescribed in your endocrinologists' office.

We know that when you leave that office, there are more questions than answers.

We know that even with the low-risk A1C, there are humps and hurdles you face on a daily basis.

We know that your doctor can't always cover the outside variables of your management - exercise, travel, stress, hormones and everything in between.

Check out the video above to hear Rosa's story of being diagnosed with type one diabetes at the age of 28 and how she used her experience to get curious and take her control back.
