The word “diabetes” has always been thrown around in my family while growing up in a Hispanic household. Being Hispanic has put me at a high risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D). Plus, I’ve always struggled with my weight from a young age, which didn't help either. Obesity and T2D run in my family, and I was hoping I would have a chance to avoid them. Unfortunately, that all came crashing down after my 21st birthday and a fun day at the fair with my family. I decided to prick my finger and check my glucose the next day because I wasn't feeling good.
