I’m doing my best to keep up responding to comments and will start posting again ASAP.
Thank you all for your concern and for being so supportive and caring in your messages and comments- I read every single one and have felt the love HUGELY!!! THANK YOU!!! 💙💙💙

Never, ever, EVER in my wildest dreams did I think my YouTube Channel would be able to reach people in such a way that I’d be walking around in Downtown Annapolis and meet the beautiful @calliedraper - a fellow T1D and viewer!!! 🤯😍
Callie was diagnosed during the pandemic which of course presented all the challenges you might expect, (and perhaps many of you experienced as well) including a lack of physically close support from family and friends and remote doctor’s visits. When I expressed just how hard that must have been for her - she immediately told me that, yes, it was hard, but it also gave her time to focus in on what she needed to do and learn! WHAT A POSITIVE SUPERSTAR!!
This one goes out to Callie and everyone here that dealt with a diagnosis during the Pandemic - you are amazing and you INSPIRE ME!!!!

I’m so sorry there won’t be a video this Sunday.
I’ve had some overwhelmingly busy weeks and my levels are definitely suffering as a result (stress, eh!) but I’m working on two very special videos…next Sunday will be my diagnosis story!!
Thank you so much for bearing with me and I hope everyone is having a wonderful start to their weekend and that the BG’s are cooperating!!! 💙

Thank you for coming to this channel exactly as you are and inviting me into yours homes, and onto your screens. I am honored. Genuinely, from the bottom of my heart, Thank You.

HAPPY WORLD DIABETES DAY! 💚
For my third, and final #strengthinnumbers post - my green circle surrounds YOU. ALL OF YOU!
I started my YouTube channel a few years ago thinking I could maybe share my experience, and because quite frankly, I felt a little isolated in my diabetes living so far away from my family.
I couldn't ever have imagined this.
You guys are an inspiration to me: Overwhelmingly kind to me, and each other, and strong. Your comments, encouragement, connection, and viewership means the absolute world to me and gets me through the darkest days.
I share this day with all of you because we're all here living or loving someone with Type 1 Diabetes. But the generosity of spirit that each and every one of you gives so freely? That universal. That's the proof of goodness in this world and humanity.
With so much love, joy, happiness, and as I always say, I wish you great bloods sugars (this day and always), but most of all I wish you all a happy healthy mind. Please know you all give this gift every single day, and I am so unbelievably grateful 🟢

One month ago today I lost my incredible Dad.
I can’t believe it’s been a month.
I can’t believe he’s gone.
My content may not be as consistent in the coming months, though I will try my very best in order to honor my Dad and the things he taught me about living so gracefully and joyfully with Type 1 Diabetes.
Thank you guys so much for all your love and support throughout this difficult time, and for all your kind comments on this and other videos he featured in. He loved hearing about what people had written and it was one of my greatest pleasures to share your beautiful words with him 💙

Hi! I'm Andrea and I've lived with Type 1 Diabetes for over 20 years.
I strive to only speak from personal experience and honor my audience by acknowledging that type 1 diabetes is a deeply personal condition. I aim to empower you to find what works best for you, offering examples from my own life as a springboard for you to discover your own solutions. I never want to be the type of creator who pretends to have all the answers. Instead, I speak honestly and from the heart, acknowledging both the physical and emotional burdens of living with this chronic condition. My goal is to support others on their unique journeys, helping people find what truly works for them.
DISCLAIMER: I am not a medical professional of any kind - simply a girl with Type 1 Diabetes! Nothing that I post should be taken as medical advice. Please consult your doctor before making any changes to your treatment plan and seek medical advice if you have any questions about your individual Diabetes management.
