Joining me today is Keary Cheney, a mama of four and the host of Spill The T1D Podcast with a wild, inspiring story that will have you on the edge of your seat! She tells her diagnosis story that started in Africa and landed her in a coma. Keary shares the anxiety and steep learning curve that came with adjusting after her shocking diagnosis. We talk about her adoption journey, how diabetes has shaped her and her daughter’s relationship, diabetes education overseas, her T1D pregnancy, and how she’s using her experiences to support other families.
