I was five years old when diagnosed with type 1 diabetes [T1D]. Because I was so young, I do not remember anything about my diagnosis. However, I do remember my elementary and middle school years living with T1D. They were tough. Like most kids at that age, you just want to fit in. Wearing medical devices on my body that made loud noises and being known as the kid always at the school nurse made me a target for bullying.
