What's Bryanna's diagnosis story?
Bryanna's story really inspires us because she's been living with diabetes since age 10 and despite all the years of ups and downs, she continues to push herself to be as healthy as she can. As she says in her blog bio:I haven’t always taken care of myself, but I have many reasons why I should! I met my husband in 2008, and we were married in June of 2011. When we talked about starting a family, I knew I had to get my blood sugars under control. It was the only way for us to have a healthy baby! My husband, Chris, is my rock. He was the first person who motivated me as a young adult to take care of myself! He has always been extremely supportive, but he also gives me a push when I need one. I don’t know what I would do without him by my side. The main reason why I take care of myself the best way I know how is my son, Noah. He is the light of my life. A Type 1 Pregnancy is considered high risk, and it was very difficult. It was the hardest thing I have ever done, and Noah was worth every minute of it. He is the happiest little boy I have ever known. He is always smiling, and loves to make other people smile too!
