Independence_25 Dominique

Welcome to my channel!
I am sure that you are wondering where the name of the channel came from so let me give you a bit of background.

At 25 years old I was very independent and thought that I had most aspects of life all figured out. I was usually busy with work or coaching and rarely left time for myself to rest but I figured that the harder I worked the farther I'd get. Well fast forward to July 3, 2016. My family drove 4 hours to pick me up and take me to the ER. On that day I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.

For now, I have to do insulin injections and blood sugar checks on a daily basis. The "IN" in Independence stands for insulin. "DEPENDENCE" because my body relies on me giving those injections for survival. The "25" stands for my age and the common joke of a "quarter life crisis".

I am learning that it’s okay to need/ask for help. We all need someone but I have learned to look to God first. Independence also stands for the day I no longer have T1D!

Good Luck they are amazing! My DAD has saved me many times(I do not have a cgm) he keeps me pretty steady..I only check 4 times a day and maintain an a1c in the 7s

I'm sorry about your ankle injury but I'm glad you've been able to get active again. I hope you will be able to get a diabetic dog as that does sound helpful. Thanks for sharing.
