Leah’s Story

Hi, I’m Leah, a 15 year old type 1 diabetic who has been living with diabetes for almost 11 years! I am a dancer and cheerleader and have been for as long as I can remember. I have created an account and website to share with others information about T1D, as well as showing people how T1D does not limit us. It pushes us to our limits and helps us excel. My diabetes has been difficult sometimes. There are times when I have been made fun of for being a type 1 diabetic. But I don’t let that put me down because diabetes has taught me to face my fears and overcome obstacles . I love to spread my enthusiasm for T1D awareness amongst fellow diabetics and the general public !
