Juliet is a high school sophomore who loves to write sports journalism and learn chemistry. She wears a Dexcom G7 and takes insulin shots to monitor and control her blood sugars. Juliet wants to work in medicine and nutrition to help other people with T1D live a happy and healthy life.

Juliet was diagnosed with T1D 5 years ago when she was 11. Since then, she has participated in and hosted multiple Breakthrough T1D Walks and helped raise over $200,000 for T1D research. She believes that raising awareness as a youth advocate is a significant cause and, that with persistence and determination, a cure for T1D is right around the corner.
