Normal Adjustments with Nicole Faccio
Society & Culture
Today we have musician, life enthusiast, and my friend, Rafael Rosa. Rafa lives with type 1 diabetes since he is 21 years old. Little did I know that underneath his 6'4'' height and big wonderful smile, I was going to get such an inspiring story of pure drive, focus and resilience. Rafa decided to take charge of his health and went into a very strict journey to educate himself on nutrition, his disease and think like a pancreas, to be able to follow his passion. He used his love and admiration for music as a driver to find what allowed him to 'feel as normal as possible' at the worst of times, to find whatever protocol gave him energy to pursue his dream and be around the people he admires.
Conversations like this is why I do this project, because like Rafa said: 'The beautiful thing about being a human is that we all need to inspire each other'.
Some 1.6 million Americans are living with Type 1 Diabetes, including about 200,000 youth (less than 20 years old) and 1.4 million adults (20 years old and older). 64,000 people are diagnosed each year in the U.S. 5 million people in the U.S. are expected to have Type 1 Diabetes by 2050, including nearly 600,000 youth
