Age: 15
Age at T1D diagnosis: 4

Lucy was diagnosed with T1D the day after Christmas when she was 4 years old.  Despite her young age, she quickly adapted to living with T1D and has always enjoyed connecting with other children with T1D and sharing what she has learned with others. She has given several presentations to her school community, been interviewed on the local news, and has been a long-time ambassador in her local chapter.

Lucy is entering high school this fall and is an active member of her school community.  She recently participated in a civics fair with several classmates and plays volleyball, soccer, and tennis.  Lucy loves geography (she participated in a state competition for maps, graphs, and charts a few years ago) and enjoys learning about other countries and cultures.  She wants to be either a doctor or an investment banker when she grows up.
