Transcend Warrior – Megan Mullins

April 27, 2021

My Story:

When I was diagnosed with T1D, I had just finished my first year as a distance runner at my school. I continued running cross country from middle school through college for a total of 11 years. It was a struggle battling the highs and lows but I did not want to let diabetes stop me. I carried gummy snacks and crackers then, which took a while to raise my sugar. I wish I had Transcend back then. It works so quickly and is so easy to use!

Do you have a diabetic hero that you look up to? If so, who and why?

My diabetic hero’s are all of the people out there living their lives and not letting diabetes get in their way. I don’t want to choose just one because there are so many people out there who are an inspiration to keep going. The online diabetes community is amazing!

What have you learned from your experiences with diabetes?

My experience with diabetes has taught me to prioritize my health and the things that matter most to me.
