Generation D

Diagnosed when she was six years old and never allowing it to define her, twenty-something Kerri Morrone has been living with type one diabetes for almost twenty years. Searching for proof that she wasn't alone with this disease, she started her personal diabetes blog, Six Until Me, and is an active member of the diabetes community. A freelance writer and editorial assistant for dLife, Kerri shares her life and experiences with the dLife community in her column "Generation D." Kerri's column explores the world of dating, driving, socializing, and much more, all while living with diabetes.
