I was diagnosed as an adult at the age of 32. I went from place to place to find the support that she needed including dietician, physical trainer, counselor therapy, acupuncture, hypnosis, intensive transformational retreat and more. I understand the struggle due to the demands of the lifestyle and will never forget it.
My goal is to help other people with diabetes to get the information that they need to become self-sufficient to control a difficult disease. I walked that hero's journey to control my diabetes. I live happily and healthy while managing diabetes and an active life. In myt free time, Kristin enjoys gardening, wakeboarding, hiking, and walking my dog.

“The struggle is real."
As someone who has walked this path, I see all the mothers, fathers, caregivers and those who struggle with the disease. Diabetes is makes relationship strained sometimes if it is not well-controlled. And even makes socializing a little different because in America, all of our social gatherings include food and eating. These are inherent struggles while swimming up stream in a culture that is not very healthy and plagued with obesity. I understand your pain and desire to give you hope. This bond connects us and serves as a support for those days I lose hope as well. You will never do it alone.
"You have diabetes, but diabetes does not have you."
After diagnosis with diabetes, one struggle is identifying yourself with the disease. You start to think that you are sick. You accept a new self that is not as capable as you once were. This is not true. This is your thought, that creates a feeling, that leads to your actions, that defines your daily habits and life. I will show you differently. If you control your diabetes, then you are just as healthy if not healthier, than someone else without it. You can think of diabetes as a gift, forcing you to grow in yourself and do better for yourself. You just have to find the options that are right for you
for your condition,
your personality,
your lifestyle!
