Krystle Samai was diagnosed when she was just nine years old. Even now, after all this time, she still remembers how lonely and scared she felt. Her family didn't know anybody with diabetes. Krystle jokes, "Only the cat down the street and my good friend's grandmother had diabetes".


The first time Krystle truly felt like she belonged was when she began attending diabetes summer camp with her family. Krystle and her family met people who understood what it was like to live with a chronic, life-changing condition. Her parents met other parents who understood the worries of letting their child attend a sleepover or eat the cookie. As Krystle puts it, "For the first time, I didn't feel alone."
Becoming a part of the diabetes community truly changed Krystle's life. She has stayed close to the diabetes community ever since, working for T1D device manufacturers and volunteering for various diabetes organizations. Now, as Executive Director for Carb DM, Krystle is excited to help others experience their own life-changing moments and not feel alone. Won't you donate to Carb DM and help Krystle to do just that?
