In this deeply personal episode of The Urgent Lows with Palmr, “Secrets I Kept About My Type 1 Diabetes in High School,” Rebecca and Nick sit down with Jisel, a T1D warrior who opens up about her diagnosis at age 15 and the emotional toll of hiding her condition during some of the most vulnerable years of her life.

Diagnosed in high school and mismanaged for a year without insulin, Jisel’s story reveals the confusion, shame, and isolation many teens with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) silently endure.

Now a passionate advocate and mom of two, Jisel reflects on how far she’s come—and how she’s turning her story into strength for the next generation.
