Here we go, kickstarting the second week of our #AmbassadorsWednesday campaign! This week’s star is Danica from the US, also known as Diabetic Danica from YouTube. Both me and Anna are so happy to have you on board, Danica – now let’s hear some more about you and your diabetes:<\/i><\/b><\/div>\n

What\u2019s your name, how old are you, and when were you diagnosed with T1?<\/b><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
My name is Danica, I am 22 years old and I was 11 when I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
What is the worst thing about being a diabetic? And what\u2019s the best?<\/b><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The worst thing about being a diabetic is that there are no days off from diabetes. I can never take a break or get a vacation from my diabetes. Day and night, holidays and weekends, it\u2019s always there. It\u2019s hard to have a constant stream of work like that to just maintain your overall health. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
The best part of diabetes is the people! Whether online, at diabetes camp, at conferences, or just a person you happen to meet in daily life, the connection that one diabetic can have with another is truly special! I have made so many awesome friendships and connections due to diabetes, and it has honestly given me so many awesome opportunities, especially through my YouTube channel! <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Are you using insulin pens or an insulin pump?<\/b><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
I started out on syringes, then insulin pens, but I have been using the insulin pump for almost 9 years now and I love it! I just got the Animas Vibe insulin pump, so it has an integrated CGM which I also couldn\u2019t do without! <\/div>\n

\n
How did you find out about AnnaPS?<\/b><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Anna actually reached out to me directly about trying out some of her products!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
What\u2019s your general opinion of the AnnaPS products? Have you got a favorite? Why?<\/b><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
AnnaPS products are super well-made! I can tell Anna and the team put a lot of time into picking the best possible places to put the pump pockets to fit the form of your body, while being comfortable and convenient at the same time. On a less important note, I also love the adorable bags that the clothes come in! <\/div>\n
My favorite item is the \u201cBoxer Boxi\u201d which are these little black undershorts with a perfectly placed pump pouch. I love to wear it underneath my footy pajamas actually! I made a whole YouTube video about it. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

Danica has been a happy pumper for nine years.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n
If you were to sum up T1D in three words only, what would they be?<\/b><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Wow, only three? <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
No, no, that\u2019s not my answer. Probably: One crazy adventure. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
