Age: 15
Age at T1D diagnosis: 6

Abby was diagnosed with T1D at 6 years old and now has lived with diabetes longer than not. She loves water and is on her high school swim team. She enjoys spending time with friends and family, and also values having some downtime for herself. Traveling is her favorite activity, and she hopes to be able to explore new places and cultures in the future.

Abby volunteered as a mentor at the nearby T1D summer camp and the camp for elementary school-aged children. Over the past few years, she has started sharing with others her memories about her diagnosis and her experiences living with T1D to help raise awareness.
