On this episode we get to hear from Bernetta @bernettastyle
Bernetta is a wife of 21 years and the mother to 3 amazing children.
Bernetta was diagnosed with Type One Diabetes 10 years ago at 38.
She is a graduate of Alabama State with a degree in Marketing and is a
content creator that has worked with Disney and Steve Harvey. Bernetta is also a published author and founder of a nonprofit. Her nonprofit, Knighten Project provides foster children with brand new suitcases filled with essentials as they transition into adulthood.
Bernetta speaks candidly about going through depression after living 38 years without T1D, having a family and career and then how in one moment all of that changed.
Bernetta also talks about the need for medical personnel to give newly diagnosed adults the opportunity to be their best from day one instead of us having to learn everything through trial and error. Everyone diagnosed deserves the same attention to their diagnosis.
What motivates Bernetta most in her T1D journey is her children, being able to see them go to college, grow and just push her to be her best. Our conversation is full of love as we dive in to how our children are one thing that goes even ahead of our T1D care.
