My name is Megan Warnke, and I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 11. It was a really scary time for me as I was just starting at a new school and was now having to deal with diabetes. I was in denial about having the disease for a long time which led to skipped insulin doses and out-of-control blood sugars. It wasn’t until I met with a diabetes educator at my local hospital that I felt like someone finally understood what I was going through. With her guidance, I slowly became at peace with my diagnosis and learned how to take control of my diabetes. Now, I’m a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator experienced in helping a variety of patients navigate their diabetes diagnosis. Understandably, diabetes brings up a lot of questions and concerns from patients and their loved ones, so I created Warnke Wellness to be a resource for those living with and without diabetes. Thank you so much for being here!
