Age: 6
Age at T1D diagnosis: 4

Caroline is full of zest and life. She has a strong personality and resilient spirit. She is a girl who knows what she wants, even at age 6.  She has not let T1D limit her hopes and dreams but tackles life head-on, pushing forward toward her goals.

When she was diagnosed with T1D, just after her fourth birthday, she was terrified of needles and finger pokes, but today, she does her own finger sticks without a flinch and likes to show her friends how it works.

Caroline likes to sing and has shared her talent singing up front at school and church events, including recently singing her first school concert solo. She loves having fun and had a blast swimming and making friends at T1D camp this past summer. She enjoys participating in Breakthrough T1D events and sharing her story with others.
