🌟You Are More Than Your Diagnosis 🌟

Today we’re celebrating Sonia Sotomayor — U.S. Supreme Court Justice and someone living with Type 1 Diabetes.

Her story reminds us that T1D doesn’t hold you back—it helps shape your strength.

⚖️ Justice Sotomayor didn’t let her diagnosis stop her from dreaming big.

💙 She worked hard, believed in herself, and now helps shape the future of our country.

Your journey can be just as bold.

Whether you want to lead, create, build, teach, perform, or explore—T1D is not a limitation.

It’s proof that you already KNOW how to be resilient.

Keep going. Keep dreaming. Keep proving that you are unstoppable. 💪

We’re cheering for you—every step of the way.

🎃🍫 Halloween = candy overload! But if you have Type 1 diabetes, you can still enjoy the treats — it just takes some smart carb counting!

👻 Here’s the trick to treat smart:

➡Check the carb counts on the wrapper (mini and fun-size candies vary!)
➡Use your phone or an app to look up unwrapped treats
➡Pair candy with some protein (like cheese sticks or nuts) to keep blood sugar steady
➡Don’t forget to bolus or adjust insulin as needed

✨ You can totally join the Halloween fun — just plan ahead and know your numbers. The best kind of candy is the kind you count with confidence! 💪🎃

💙 Talking About Type 1 Diabetes with Friends

Managing Type 1 diabetes is part of your life, and it’s totally normal for friends to be curious. Being able to explain it clearly can help them understand, show support, and even make school life easier.
Here are some simple ways to explain T1D to friends:

🩸 “My pancreas doesn’t make insulin, so I give myself insulin to help my body use sugar for energy.”
🍔 “I can eat what everyone else eats — I just count carbs and dose insulin for it.”
💉 “When I’m checking my blood sugar or taking insulin, I’m just keeping myself safe and feeling good.”

💡 Extra tips for teens:
• Keep it casual: You don’t need to give your whole life story. A few sentences are enough.
• Normalize it: Everyone has routines to stay healthy — diabetes management is just part of yours.
• Answer what you’re comfortable with: It’s okay to say, “I’d rather not talk about that” if a question feels too personal.
• Use humor if it helps: A light comment like, “Yep, that’s my little sugar check before class!” can make it feel normal.
• Invite support: Friends who understand can help remind you to check blood sugar, offer snacks if needed, and just be understanding.

Sharing a little about T1D helps break the mystery, reduces awkward questions, and builds stronger friendships. 💪💙
