Jasmine Meriedy was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D) when she was one years old. Currently a full-time college student at Southern University A&M College in Baton Rouge, LA, majoring in mass communications, Jasmine has always had a passion for #T1D advocacy. She was a JDRF Children's Congress Delegate in 2019 and says using her voice in Washington DC was an incredibly empowering experience, and it also made her feel like a part of a much larger community. “It helped me see that I’m not alone in the day-to-day routine of T1D and we are all fighting for a cure."
