Taralyn Jamieson was diagnosed at 8 years old and spent most of her 28 years with T1D trying to ignore her blood sugars.
It wasn't until she settled down in her personal life that it became a priority to get her health under control, but by then it was too late to avoid complications.
Taralyn shares why we need to talk about the reality of diabetes complications that are difficult to hear about, but harder to deal with if you actually have them.
