Name: Londen Age: 31 Year Diagnosed: 2009 Location: Chicago, IL “Top advice tip would be to have a support system, you are not alone and not to be hard on yourself. When I was diagnosed I was actually told that I was Type 2 then few days before leaving the hospital they corrected themselves and told me I was Type 1. My biggest challenge would have to be putting myself out there and being confident in who I was with this new way of life.”

Name: Londen Age: 29 Year Diagnosed: 2009 Location: Chicago, IL “Surround yourself with a community. They don’t all have to be diabetic but for sure have someone you can talk to and express how you’re feeling. Be adventurous. I love a thrill, I’ve always was hesitant to do excursions on trips being diabetic but I have so much fun. My favorite is zip lining. Don’t be scared or nervous to share your journey. You never know who you may be helping.”

As many of you are aware, April is National Minority Health Month, and it is critical to raise awareness about improving health and bringing together racial and ethnic minority communities! This past weekend @blacksportsbiz , we had the opportunity to meet current and aspiring sports professionals with T1D! Which is something we’d love to see more of! Last year our founder had the opportunity to spread awareness about type one diabetes in the sports industry, as well as the need for athletic nutritionists who understand sports health! This year we got to comeback to see those who have sponsored and supported diabaddies efforts in the T1D community at the symposium! What a way to kick off Minoroty Health Month in April! Swipe to see some more Diabaddies😍 and supporters of those with T1D!♥️

Whether you are someone living with diabetes, the care taker of someone and helping manage their diabetes or are learning about diabetes or intrigued by diabetes this is for you because diabetes looks like you! W/ love @t1dartist This year we set out on a mission to open our community to those we think you should know.

I wholeheartedly thank each and everyone of you for not only participating in the last two #DiabetesLooksLikeWho & #PassingTheTorch campaigns for World diabetes day, but for your life 💙. Your existence means so much more than one could imagine and explain. Over the last year I’ve watched from a distance and hopefully my warmth and sincere strength and peace has reached you all. I’ve seen motherhood take place, the world of entrepreneurship take greater steps, businesses grow, the transition in careers, people being bold with life, the re-education of diabetes management and overall pure, real joy and I look forward to seeing you grasp the opportunities of life that are in your reach.

It’s been a while! When this video was created there were some of us that were fairly new into diagnoses and community, while others were reconfiguring their management. Many were just navigating through life while taking control of diabetes and not letting it over shadow the person we have become. We were all learning new tricks and equally all sharing our experiences! We’ve had our ups and we’ve experienced the downs. Both smooth sailing and bumpy rides. From a distance I’ve watched us all grow! This is community!! Reposting because the video for some reason was blacked out la familia! This is a short film with the collective of 21 members of the DOC raising awareness of Type 1 Diabetes. Diabetes has many faces #DiabetesLooksLikeWho Thank you all so very much 💙 @betsyjfm @mutalimusic @ariananotgrande___ @thriving.diabetic @moniquenicolee @nosugarcoating__ @shark_demi @laurenthet1warrior @young_giftedandblack @glucosegangmike @daynah_heart @kellyuselesspancreas @earl952 @officialdiamend @shayhasdiabeetus @geelorraine_ @dearcasper @marceladaniele @the_great_alexandria @t1d_my.dea.the.lion @t1dartist @imblorb : : : : I look damn good for my struggle 💁🏾‍♂️ ::insert by @t1dartist :: #TheForgottenOne #delawarediabetic #t1dblackandproud #t1dartist #t1dlookslikeme #t1d #diabetes #healthylifestyles #diabetic #insulin #diabetesawareness #diabetescare #healthyhabits #type1diabetes #typeonediabetes #t1d #t2d #prediabetes #mody #lada #bipoc #jdrf #beyondtype1 #insulindependent #insulinpump #mdi #insulin

It’s National Diabetes Awareness Month! 💙✨ For those who don’t know I’m a Type 1 Diabetic. I was diagnosed back in 2009 at age 15. My motto and something I’ve consistently told myself is that I’ll never let the disease control me. Regardless of having Diabetes I’ve never let it stop me from living my lifeeee. I created @nosugarcoating__ as a way to tell my journey and also allow others to feel comfortable sharing their own. #nationaldiabetesawarenessmonth #nosugarcoating #type1diabetes #type2diabetes #diàmenddiabeticchallenge

✨#Prolific 🏁💙 ✨Name: Londen Mance Date of Diagnosis: September 9, 2009 (Age 15, currently 26) Location: Chicago, IL IG: @nosugarcoating__ (Diabetes page) @londeennn_ (Personal page) Story: I had always known about Diabetes, my aunt has it and my late maternal grandfather had it. I never really understood the depths of the illness. Like everyone else I thought it just really had to do with eating a lot of sugar and obesity. I ate my share of sugar filled items but I have always had a small figure. It was a couple of days after I came home from a vacation in Cancun, Mexico; my mouth was constantly dry (I drank a whole gallon of milk in one sitting once) and I always, always had to go to the bathroom. I had just started my sophomore year of high school, some days I had energy and others I was completely drained feeling really weak. I would go to lunch and just put my head down on the table not wanting to eat. My friends had no clue what was wrong with me. My mom looked up my symptoms not wanting to believe what she was reading, made me a doctor's appointment and on September 9, 2009 (9.9.09) was when I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. As years passed on I started to see diabetes as a blessing in disguise. I find joy in traveling and eating good eats everywhere and diabetes isn't hindering my love to eat and travel. #blackdiabeticjoy # embraceyourj❤️y #blackdiabeticgirl #wocdiabetes #pocdiabetes #t1dlookslikeme #t1d #diabetes #insulin4all #type1warrior #blacklivesmatter #blackjoy
