More about Justin
Justin was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in May 2021 thanks to the diabetes community on Tik Tok.
Originally, misdiagnosed with type 2 diabetes, Justin posted videos on Tik Tok of his symptoms and what his doctor had him doing at the time - testing blood sugar, taking long acting insulin - when the diabetes community found his videos, they blew up and they told him he had type 1, needed and Endocrinologist, a cgm and a pump. They got him the help he needed and I owes them his life.
