My Story:
The worst part of this disease for me has been obtaining the tools I need to manage type 1. The costs and insurance coverage make it so hard. Not to mention navigating the medical supply companies. I have spent countless hours with phone calls, emails, and paperwork. You have to be your own advocate and it can be so stressful.
