From Total Denial to Totally Thriving: Meet Rachel Price

Diagnosed with T1D in her 20s, Rachel Price admits she was in denial at first, insisting to her doctors there was nothing wrong. Now, she’s an advocate who stays positive but realistic. Rachel has three children and started a business called DiaBeTees selling t-shirts and other products with fun diabetes sayings and catchy slogans.  Join the Diabetes Connections Facebook Group!  In our Community Connection this week, Dan Haddin is off for Teach for America, but not before creating some fantastic diabetes song parodies.
