Melody 22.

This week I had the pleasure of connecting online with Melody, who was just diagnosed in June of this year with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of 22.  As a brand new diabetic, Melody has wasted no time in raising awareness and educating family and friends through her blog.  Check our her story and her incredibly positive spin on this new chapter of her life on her blog at:

D is for Diabetes

"My view on life has altered a bit. As I was never an ungrateful person, it just opens my eyes to except things as they come. I never thought bad things could happen to me because I've always had all the luck in the world, but I was wrong. Anything can happen to anyone and it's better to live your life for you and do the best you can with it. I still do normal things as everyone else, I'm just a lot more cautious of the consequences."
