Being a member of the Blue Circle Voices is an opportunity to learn about diabetes awareness from experienced and knowledgeable diabetes advocates. I joined the BCV network because I live with type 1 diabetes. When I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2016, I still remember how confused and lonely I felt. I don’t want anyone to feel that way. The BCV allows me to connect with healthcare professionals, social media creators, and working professionals in the diabetes community and learn from their stories. The insights from my BCV experience will be shared through my social media and podcast to raise awareness in my community. As a BCV, I am one step closer to my ultimate goal: to create a positive impact and make diabetes care more accessible to the general public.
