For this episode, we’re giving Nicole Trone the spotlight again, to share her incredible journey with Type 1 Diabetes, from her initial diagnosis to a life-changing transformation. Diagnosed with diabetes as an adult, Nicole was left without proper education or guidance, thrust into managing her condition while abroad in Barcelona. She shares how fear, uncertainty, and low blood sugar anxiety ruled her life, especially after a traumatic experience just before her engagement.
