At age 33, Doris Hobbs had it all. A popular blog, a life as a glamour model, friends, you name it.

Then life kicked her in the face. She tried to run from the fact that she was sick and something was wrong. She knew deep down what it was.

On October 22, 2014, ("D" Day she calls it) Doris was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Stunned, she did the only thing she could.

She used her powerful voice and following to spread the word about diabetes awareness.

Doris told her diagnosis, "I control you. You don't get to control me."

Join us as we learn more about her story and how she used it to become even more empowered than ever before.
