Hi! My name is Kiersten Johnson and I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when I was 10, 8 years ago this Spring.
I wanted to create this website to make information about this disease easier to access. This past Fall,
I was able to put this dream into reality! I’m not the most patient person, so I wanted the websites to have
short descriptions, telling me what I would find information about quickly. This wasn’t all for me though,
of course. I hope that this site can be of use to other people looking for information about Type 1 Diabetes:
what it is, how to live with it, and keeping up to date with others who live with it.
A bit about me personally: I like to bake (yes the irony), read, travel, and watch movies. This year I am going
to graduate from Mountain Vista High School and plan to attend college in the Fall. I’m super excited for this
new opportunity and I know that I’ll be reading several of the blogs on this site telling me more about what
it is like to live on my own with Diabetes!
Thanks for reading and I would appreciate any feedback you have for me or what I should add!
Please contact me through the Contact form or
email at kiersten@t1dportal.org.
