Meet three young adults who are all in the spotlight AND have type 1 diabetes. NFL player Chad Muma, actor Mary Mouser, and professional race car driver Ryan Reed took part in a panel discussion at this summer's Friends for Life conference. The moderator is CNN correspondent Oren Liebermann, who also lives with T1D.

I attended this panel in person and thought it would be fun to bring to a wider audience.

One of the things you don't hear is a short film about Chad Muma that was shown at the start of the panel.. it's a great look at how he kept his dream of playing in the NFL going after his diagnosis. You can watch it here:

Note: Mary Mouser, Chad Muma, and Ryan Reed have compensation agreements with Tandem Diabetes Care. Individual experiences may vary.
