Hi! I'm Ciara

My name’s Ciara and I’ve been living with a broken pancreas for 18 years.

I have Type 1 Diabetes, which can be a nuisance sometimes but has also taught me a lot. There’s a lot to balance with a chronic disease, including school. I’m currently studying nutrition through the University of Alabama’s Distance program to be a Registered Dietitian (R.D).

I love food and I think nutrition goes hand-in-hand with Type 1 Diabetes so I want to share my journey with the two and everything in between! Learn some more about me here!
