"Living with Type 1 Diabetes is a journey of challenges, victories, and lessons. Here’s my story, and it’s not just mine, it’s ours." - Serena
Hello
I'm Serena
I am a 24-year-old Lebanese marketer, artist, and Type 1 diabetic. I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of 4. For years, I tried to hide my condition, but I eventually realized that sharing my personal stories about living with diabetes could raise diabetes awareness and help others feel less alone.
From Experience to Advocacy
I am a 24-year-old Lebanese marketer, artist, and Type 1 diabetic. I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of 4. For years, I tried to hide my condition, but I eventually realized that sharing my personal stories about living with diabetes could raise diabetes awareness and help others feel less alone.
In the Spotlight
Representing the Type 1 Diabetes Community
In October 2020, I was featured in one of Freestyle Libre’s MENA region campaigns, a proud moment that allowed me to help show what real, everyday life with diabetes looks like, and inspire others to embrace their stories too.
Raising Awareness on National TV
On World Diabetes Day, November 14, 2023, I had the chance to share my journey on LBCI, speaking openly about life with Type 1 Diabetes and the importance of awareness, education, and community support in Lebanon.
Frequently Asked (Annoying) Questions
Obviously! I eat sugar more than most of my friends… in moderation, of course. Diabetes doesn’t mean no sugar, it means smart sugar choices.
Nope! Type 1 Diabetes is not genetic. I didn’t get it from them, but I did get the best support imaginable, which makes all the difference.
My favorite question! It’s a glucose sensor, not a fancy sticker or a new smartwatch. It helps me monitor my blood sugar 24/7, basically my tiny lifesaver (and fashion accessory).
I wish it worked that way! But no, insulin isn’t a punishment, it’s literally what keeps me alive. So skipping meals isn’t an option… plus, have you met Lebanese food? Not eating would be the real tragedy.
