From Loss to Transformation

After losing my mother, Donetta, to complications from type II diabetes, I found myself silently slipping into the same patterns—grief dimming my once-active spirit. My own diagnosis became a turning point. I had a choice: surrender to the disease or fight for my future. I chose to fight.  

Through discipline, education, and faith, I reclaimed my health—lowering my A1C from 12 to 6.3 in just 10 months. That victory inspired CELEBRATE Diabetes: a community rooted in compassion, resilience, and hope. We exist to remind each other that diabetes doesn’t get the final say—we do.
