Catch up and listen to our chat https://megaphone.link/LCRUI5761718295
Natalia is an 11-year girl living with Type One Diabetes. Diagnosed at only 20 months young Natalia is keen to make a difference.
Over a year ago Natalia decided she wanted to share her diabetes journey with the world via social media. With the help of her mum, she started an Instagram page where her ‘goal’ was to inspire others and create awareness.
Today she is doing just that!
“A lot of people don’t actually understand what Type 1 Diabetes is and that’s where I come in” Natalia explains. It’s also nice for others to get a child’s perspective on it all. Diabetes is a 24/7job. You are constantly working towards good blood sugar readings. It can be very exhausting!
Natalia is lucky enough to have a mum who is also a type 1 diabetic. She has taught Natalia so much and makes her feel positive about living with such a serious condition.
Natalia’s Instagram page Natalia_type1_lifestyle is about being that positive role model in other children’s lives. She wants them to know that they are not alone.
On her Instagram platform you will see her share her favourite low sugar/low carb foods from amazing brands including Natvia, twisted healthy treats and the no nasties project. Natalia has been lucky enough to have had treats gifted to her. These brands are making such a difference in the life of diabetics, it means they don’t have to miss out!
On her platform you will see the highs and lows of Type One Diabetes as it’s about being real, and educating others.
An organisation that has made a great impact to Natalia’s diabetic life is The Type One Foundation. They do fundraisers all year round and sell cool Merchandise which enables them to run Children’s camps and host fun days out for Diabetic children and their families. This is so important because it gets the diabetes community together and they meet many others with the same battles. Through this foundation Natalia and her family have made many friends.
Natalia’s message to others out there would be to never be embarrassed about who you are in this world. Everyone is unique and special in their own way.
Natalia is proud to be the girl with diabetes, a sensor on her arm and an insulin pump on her hip. These are everyday reminders that Natalia along with others living with Type One Diabetes are true Warriors.
