Megan was diagnosed in 2009 with Type I. As an RN, she was familiar with the medical side of her diagnosis; learning to be a good patient on the other hand, was and continues to be the challenge of her day to day life.
As a first born, self-professed control freak mom to two toddlers at the time, she was determined to learn all that she could and do whatever it took to get her diabetes under control. With diet, exercise, daily injections and CGM monitoring, Megan has been able to maintain relatively good blood sugar and A1C control since diagnosis.
She resides in the suburbs of Detroit with her husband and two children.
