Hi, this is my first ever blog page!

My name is Sarah and I’m a musician (pianist and singer) who has type 1 diabetes. I have lived with type 1 diabetes since December 2010.

when I was diagnosed, I wanted to tell myself that I wouldn’t let diabetes hold me back. I have been playing piano and keyboards since the age of 10 and I love it. Music has given me so much strength, drive and determination to conquer anything.

After having the confidence to share my skills with ArT1st – an event to celebrate talents of individuals who have type 1 diabetes, I wanted to create a blog and a name that reinforces that despite having a chronic condition(s), you can achieve your dreams.

I love helping people with diabetes and it’s one of my passions. I am a qualified teacher as a day job and specialise in special educational needs. I also am studying towards a masters degree.
If I can just reach out to a few people and support them through my music, I will feel accomplished. Aiming to post once a week/fortnight so stay tuned.
