The M.O.M. approach to managing type 1 diabetes | Srinika Bhagavathula | TEDxPine Lake Youth

At the age of 5, Srinika's life took an unexpected turn with the diagnosis of Type-1 Diabetes, marking the beginning of a profound journey of resilience and adaptation. As she navigated the challenges of managing her health at such a young age, by the time she reached 10, Srinika was already deep in the process of mastering self-care. In her forthcoming talk, Srinika delves into her personal odyssey, sharing poignant insights garnered through her experiences. With a message tailored for young individuals facing similar hurdles, she unveils a method that not only empowers them but also serves as a beacon of hope. Through her speech, Srinika aims to instill a sense of agency and resilience in her audience, guiding them towards reclaiming their power in the face of adversity. Srinika’s days are spent tracking her blood sugar levels because of Type 1 Diabetes, managing her diet, and controlling her intake of insulin. A monitor worn on her arm tracks Srinika’s life-threatening condition. Srinika is on a mission to help kids suffering with Type 1 Diabetes to know how to stand up for themselves and voice their needs, so that even with T1D they can fulfill all their dreams and aspirations. To the general public Srinika says, “Please be aware of Type 1 Diabetes and take proactive steps to avoid it so you can live a happier, healthier life”.
