Meet Aubrey!
It was so fun to have Aubrey in the studio! She has the most beautiful smile! Aubrey is not only beautiful, but she has so many talents! She is a pianist, a soccer player, and a ballroom dancer! It was so fun reading the answers to her questionnaire, because she has so many answers that match my own!

You get to eat candy in class when you’re low. I like being able to teach people about diabetes and showing people all my diabetic supplies. People think I’m really brave because of how much I get poked all the time.

What would you like others to know about being a diabetic?
It may be scary to do the shots and stuff but you can still do everything that people without diabetes can do. It just makes you extra special and unique.
