Nearly two decades of life with Type 1 diabetes
Diagnosed at 17.
I became a mom in 2023.
A woman in her 30s, still learning. Still growing.
I spent years using insulin pens before moving to Medtronic in 2024. In 2025, I switched to Omnipod, and it changed how I experienced everyday life with Type 1 Diabetes.
This is my story of motherhood, strength, change, and learning to live well with T1D.

About This Space
Lady Clay is a personal space about living with Type 1 diabetes, motherhood, strength, and finding your way through life in your 30s.
I was diagnosed at 17. Nearly two decades later, I’m still learning, adapting, and finding new ways to take care of myself.
I’m sharing my experiences anonymously not because my story doesn’t matter, but because I want this space to focus on the stories, lessons, and conversations rather than the person behind them.
Stay awhile.
