Paint Brush Stroke

Hi! I’m Crystal. I am entering Year #3 as a person living with Type 1 Diabetes.

I acquired Type 1 Diabetes as an adult and even though it changed a lot in my ​life, it changed a lot for the better!


I love fishing and golfing with my son, lifting weights with my CrossFit Family, ​woodworking, and being outside enjoying the sunshine and beauty of nature.

I chose to write about Type 1 Diabetes after I struggled to find books to learn ​more. I truly hope that even one story can help someone else along their ​journey. Writing is also a way for me to embrace my new life and learn to be ​strong and confident living with Type 1 Diabetes.


Type 1 Diabetes won’t stop me from being me, in fact, it’s made me stronger, ​happier, and more creative!


We can get through the hard days, one day at a time!
