Educator. Researcher. Advocate. Diabuddy.
Hi, I’m Taffy, the creator of The 5 Pillar Promise and your guide through the course.
I was initially misdiagnosed as having Type 1DM on 1-1-11, (Happy New Year to me!) Weeks later I was diagnosed correctly with Type 1.5DM (also called LADA).
I know what it’s like to live with elements of both Type 1 and Type 2. I understand your frustrations and your challenges whether you’re a Type 1, Type 2 or a Type 1.5, like me.
I can help you in real-time what it took years of research, doctor’s visits and personal experience for me to learn so you don’t have to try piecing it all together on your own.
I didn’t choose this path but I did choose who I became because of it. Put in the work and maybe you’ll find a new you, too! That’s the plan.
