### RaeLynn's Journey with Type 1 Diabetes and Her Music Career RaeLynn, a country singer who first appeared on The Voice in 2012, has been living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) since she was 12 years old. Initially, she mistook her symptoms for the flu, but she was eventually diagnosed with T1D after being rushed to the hospital in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). During her teenage years, RaeLynn struggled with managing her diabetes but eventually decided to take control of her health. She realized that maintaining good diabetes management was crucial for her to perform well and achieve her dreams. RaeLynn now follows a strict routine, checking her blood sugar levels every morning and before going on stage. She also ensures she has orange juice on hand during performances to manage any potential low blood sugar episodes. RaeLynn has become an advocate for diabetes awareness and education. She is a patient ambassador for Novo Nordisk and promotes a new T1D book series co-created by Novo and JDRF. These books aim to help people of all ages understand and manage diabetes. In addition to her advocacy work, RaeLynn recently signed with Warner Music Nashville and continues to pursue her music career. She emphasizes that diabetes should not limit anyone from achieving their dreams and living a normal life. RaeLynn's positive attitude and proactive approach to managing her diabetes serve as an inspiration to others living with the condition.
