Hi everyone, My name is Aubrey! My idea for this blog was to tell all you guys about my life with type 1 diabetes. I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2007 when I was 10 years old. I am fourteen now and living my new normal. A type 1 diabetic does not produce insulin which you need to break down sugar. For me to have insulin and for my  body to break down sugar I used to take shots 4-5 times a day. Last year I got an  insulin pump which is like a little pink pager on my body.  I have a site on my stomach the size a quarter and in that site is a tube connected to my pump. It's complicated at first but I got used to it! Diabetes has made my life way more complicated  but has also made me a stronger person. Plus I get to do amazing things like meeting Nick Jonas and going to Washington D.C. as a part of JDRF's Children's Congress on June 20th!!!! I decided to write this blog to share my Journey to CC11 and share my experiences! Now let me tell you a little bit about Aubrey's Wings.   The year I was diagnosed with diabetes I participated in Ron Santo's  Walk to Cure Diabetes at the lakefront in Chicago! JDRF hosts it every year and the goal is to raise money for diabetes research . My team is called Aubrey's Wings because I believe that we can soar to the cure! I will post a lot about the walk in my blog when the walk comes up! Thanks so much for letting me tell you my experiences about D.C and much more!
