Sara Knicks of Diabetes Daily – Moments of Wonderful

After a series of misdiagnoses lasting over a year, I was finally diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in the spring of 2003 at the ago of 22. I managed my Diabetes with multiple daily injections (MDI) for about a year, and started wearing an insulin pump in January of 2004. Other than a maternal grandmother with Type 2 Diabetes, I am the only known diabetic in my family. I am also a conservative Christian, and navigating what it means to be a person of faith and someone living with a chronic condition is a challenge I continue to explore.

“I’m a wife, Mom of two young children and a teacher trying to find balance on my life’s journey while managing my Type 1 Diabetes. I passionately believe that life with Diabetes can still be lived without limits!”

I love to give both parents of children with Diabetes and young people with Diabetes hope that they can accomplish ANYTHING despite Diabetes…. getting a college degree, traveling the world, marriage and family, losing weight, BALANCE… it can be done, I am proof!

Diabetes should never limit what you aspire to do with your life. I currently have a blog, but do not limit it to writing only about Diabetes. I’d love to have a blog with a focus solely on T1 and balancing life as a young working mom and wife.
