💙 November 14th — World Diabetes Day 💙
Today, our Camelback Pediatrics team wore blue to show support for everyone affected by diabetes. 💉✨
One of our amazing front desk team members was diagnosed with diabetes at just 12 years old. Here’s what she shared about her journey:
🩵 I became a type 1 diabetic at the age of 12! It wasn’t easy at first and I definitely struggled adjusting to a new lifestyle but I had the support of my family, friends and a great endocrinologist that helped me transition. I still indulge in sweet treats and other foods but just have to take an extra precaution on my intake! Living with diabetes isn’t the end of the world, sure it has its ups and downs but I don’t let it define me at all! 🩵
Her strength, positivity, and resilience remind us why spreading awareness and supporting one another matters so much. 💙
