Type 1 Diabetes is incurable and it has to be constantly monitored and managed daily.The demands are quite high for managing the disease but the consequences of not managing diabetes are even higher. On this episode of ”Pieces of Us” I talk with Erika Croft who discusses what it was like being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of ten. She explains how she didn’t realize the full impact diabetes would have on her life until she was living on her own. For Erika, diabetes had impacted her physically, mentally, and financially.
