Founder biography

I've lived with type 1 diabetes since 1996, and it's shaped everything from how I see the world to why I do this work. I founded Diabetic Me to share what I've learned and to give a platform to the stories, tips, and hard-won insights of people managing diabetes everywhere. These days I run on a Medtronic Simplera CGM and a MiniMed 780G pump — and my goal is simple: help others feel in control of their diabetes, not the other way around.
