Type 1 Diabetes Education

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

One of my favorite ways to serve is by adding to our local food pantry box This morning I dropped off water, clothes, and food, and I’m always reminded that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference!! 😇

MYTH: Sugar causes Type 1 Diabetes.
FACT: Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune disease.

During National Diabetes Week, let’s replace myths with facts. 💙

Type 1 Diabetes is not caused by eating too much sugar or by lifestyle choices. It happens when the immune system mistakenly attacks the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, and there is currently no way to prevent it.

Education saves lives, creates understanding, and helps families living with Type 1 Diabetes feel seen and supported. Let’s keep spreading awareness one fact at a time. 🩵

Yesterday, I had the honor of giving gift bags to four incredible women graduating from Project Alley. Recovery is not an easy journey, and their strength, perseverance, and commitment to a better future deserve to be celebrated.
Addiction has touched my own family, so seeing these women reach this milestone means even more to me. As someone whose brother faced addiction, I know the battles that are often fought behind the scenes. I am so proud of these ladies for choosing hope, healing, and a new beginning. Their stories are a reminder that recovery is possible and every step forward is worth celebrating. ❤️

Hearing Declans story after being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes truly touched my heart. No child should have to navigate the challenges that come with type 1 diabetes, but seeing his courage and smile through it all is incredibly inspiring. I’m so grateful he has the opportunity to attend a T1D camp in Orlando, Florida a place where he can be surrounded by others who understand his journey and remind him that he is never alone.
Through my “Type 1 Day at a Time” scholarship fund, I was honored to gift him $400 to help make this experience possible. Moments like this are exactly why I continue to advocate, raise awareness, and pour my heart into the T1D community. 💙

The second photo gives you more information on how you can help support him on this journey ✨

“It’s just diabetes.”
That phrase minimizes a reality so many people fight every single day. Type 1 diabetes is constant calculations, sleepless nights, fear of dangerous lows, exhaustion, injections, alarms, and carrying the weight of a disease that never takes a break. 🩸💉

This quote perfectly encapsulates the essence of one of my dearest friends, Miss Utah Volunteer, Emma Shelton! 👑

In honor of International Women’s Day, I wanted to take a moment to highlight my dear friend, Miss Emma Shelton. She embodies poise, kindness, confidence, courage, and leadership. She is truly lovely! I am constantly inspired by her to be better, work harder, love louder, and serve with all my heart. I am so grateful for pageants for giving me the opportunity to befriend someone who is the most supportive, caring, and thoughtful person I have ever met!
I am so lucky to I get to call Emma my Bestie ❤️

March is Autoimmune Disease Awareness Month — and type 1 diabetes is exactly that. 💙

Type 1 diabetes isn’t caused by diet or lifestyle. It’s an autoimmune condition where the body mistakenly attacks the cells that produce insulin. It’s something people live with every single day — managing blood sugar, counting carbs, giving insulin, and staying strong through the highs and lows (literally).

This month is about education, awareness, and compassion for everyone living with autoimmune diseases. Let’s continue to support, uplift, and advocate for research, understanding, and those who fight battles that often go unseen.

Awareness matters. Support matters. Every voice matters. 💙

Let’s talk Type 1 🤍
Nine years ago, my brother was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, a moment that forever changed our lives. Since then, I’ve watched him grow stronger, more resilient, and more courageous than I ever imagined. His journey has shown me how misunderstood Type 1 diabetes truly is, which is why sharing these facts and misconceptions matters so much. Awareness leads to understanding, and understanding leads to compassion for everyone living with Type 1 diabetes every single day.

I was so grateful to be part of the Holly Days parade this year.
