Type 1 Diabetes

Navigating Women's Health and Autoimmune Disease

My personal journey as a mother, with a daughter who has type 1 diabetes, has deeply informed the care I offer. When my daughter was diagnosed at age 12, I became acutely aware of the unique challenges that diabetes presents, especially for women. Since then, I have made it a priority to create a space for open, compassionate discussions about managing diabetes alongside women's health.
