Kirya’s Story

Hi everyone! My name is Kirya and I’ve been living with T1D for almost 6 years now. There’s definitely a lot of things I had to adapt to after being told I was diabetic. However, I’m thankful for this disease and being able to be an even better version of myself with it.

I think the most inspiring part of my story is that I’m a division 1 softball player at Morehead State University! I try and set the example that diabetes isn’t something to be ashamed of and it shouldn’t slow you down. Embrace all the good, and bad days. God wouldn’t put something on you if he thought you couldn’t handle it! 💛
