Welcome to my Step Out page!
In June 2013 I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. At the time the doctors told me I was lucky to have came to the ER when I did because I could have went into a Diabetic Coma. It was all so new to me and very scary. I had heard about diabetes but didn't know the severity of the disease. Nobody in my family had it so it came as such a shock. Once reIeased from the ER after being held for a few days I started researching, eating healthier, and getting used to sticking myself multiple times a day. I also started raising money and walking in the JDRF Diabetes Walk every year because I was told I was Type 1. Well in March 2021 after being hospitalized again I found out that I was not Type 1 but instead Type 2 and DKA proned.
So starting last year I decided to just walk for all types of Diabetes overall, no matter what type I am, and I am asking you to support me in the Step Out Walk to Stop Diabetes® event because finding a cure for diabetes is urgent and means so much to me personally.
