CWP host Willie Streets shares his life with T1D plus everything else.

Deanelle was diagnosed with Type One Diabetes at the age of 6, 23 years ago. His diagnosis was caught by his parent's keen eye on his growth at such a young age.

Today, he is a Certified Health Coach to help others like him get a better understanding of their own bodies and the data behind it to help them achieve their health goals.

His family is of Caribbean background, from St Kitts and Nevis. After his diagnosis, his mom had to get serious with their family's health. His parents were the original champions for his diagnosis and for how he would be moving forward.

While in college, he studied abroad in Spain and didn't tell his mom until right before! One thing that opened his eyes while studying abroad was that he didn't have to pay for his insulin.

Deanelle has no recollection of life without diabetes, but wants to continue doing everything that he can to make sure that others too can live a full life while managing it.
