Transcend Warrior – Hunter Johnson

July 21, 2020

My Story:

I was at Carolina Rebellion with my family for a three day rock concert. We were in the very front of the crowd for almost 6 hours and I was directly in the sun the whole time. I tried to fight to stay there with everyone and not ruin their time but I couldn’t stand anymore. I checked my sugar and I was at 30 and had to have help to get out of the crowd and rushed to a source of some type of sugar before I passed out.

My Health Details
Type of Diabetes:Type 1
Low blood sugar instances per week:1-3 Instances
Daily number of times checking blood sugar:4-6 times/day
Managing Diabetes with:Insulin Shots
What age were you diagnosed with diabetes?16+
How long does it typically take you to come up when you are low?Under 1 hour
What is your biggest challenge with diabetes?

My biggest challenge is to do all the things I used to do before I was diagnosed. The type of work I used to do, the sports I used to play, going to the gym like I used to.

What have you learned from your experiences with diabetes?

It’s not gonna be an anchor for my life, it is just an obstacle to get around and keep living my life and learn to get through anything life has to throw at me.
