Hi there! Welcome to Living Type One, I’m so glad you’re here!

 I’m Ashlyn, the creator of Living Type One. My journey with Type One Diabetes (T1D) began when I was diagnosed at 18 years old, and since then, I’ve navigated the daily challenges and triumphs of life with T1D. Through this website, I aim to share my experiences, provide support, and build a community where people with T1D and their loved ones can find inspiration, education, and connection.

Managing T1D requires constant vigilance, but it has also taught me resilience, patience, and the importance of advocacy. Living Type One is my way of showing that diabetes doesn’t define us—it strengthens us. Whether you are newly diagnosed, a seasoned T1D warrior, or a caregiver looking for guidance, I hope this space empowers you to live life fully—one unit at a time.

Thank you for being here. Let’s navigate this journey together!
