Make Diabetes Your Superpower

If you want to live well with T1D, you have to come to a place of acceptance.

Accepting T1D is a journey. Acceptance doesn't mean you like diabetes or that you want to have it. But it does mean putting your guard down and doing your best to live well with the hand you've been dealt. The opposite of acceptance is avoidance. And we all know avoiding diabetes never turns out well.

In this episode, Basma Adams talks about her journey to acceptance with T1D. When she was younger, Basma did everything she could to hide her diabetes from other people. She soon realized that hiding diabetes made her think about diabetes even more. Once she was able to accept diabetes, life got a whole lot easier for her. She found her passion and made T1D her superpower.
