Avani’s Story

I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes 17 years ago. I knew nursing was my destiny when I was nine years old, and I have made it my life mission to serve others. My type 1 diabetes will never and has never defined me.

I spent several years wanting to hide my chronic condition because I grew up thinking it was a weakness. I am now 26 years old and currently in graduate school, and reminded every day my chronic condition is my biggest MOTIVATION & STRENGTH. I will never allow someone else’s doubt or opinions to hinder my potential because I am capable of anything. You are never alone & can do anything you put your mind to. Never give up on your dreams. You are a true WARRIOR.
