My Story…
I'm Mindy, and I was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 26 and have been a rockstar according to my medical professionals. They aren't sure if I have type 1 or type 2, suggesting I might be a new hybrid of both. Having diabetes has taught me a lot and given more guidance on maintaining a healthy, moderate lifestyle. I'm now more fit than before my diagnosis.
It's been a long journey, and as technology has advanced, I'm very grateful for how much easier it is to maintain my diabetic health as well as the connections and support I have received from the diabetes community.
When I'm not at my M-F job in Water Treatment, I Co-Manage the Golden Spike Can Can Dancers as well as perform. I spend my spare time preparing for practices, teaching dance steps, and organizing the group for charity performances.
Managing diabetes while living life can be tough, requiring a lot of prep work and extra consideration for tasks and events but I don't let it stop me.
