Type 1 YOU was created to help diabetics and families tackle diabetes with a wider range of understanding, outside of doctor visits! I am a type 1 diabetic wanting to share my knowledge and support with others, in hopes of them not having to make the same mistakes or take on the destructive habits that I myself struggled with. The goal for me is to give diabetics as much of my knowledge, understanding, and support to create the best environment for working with this disease in a personal and unique way, tailored to each individual’s lifestyle.

Diabetes can be incredibly overwhelming, but I am still here after 24 years of experience to tell others that there is an empowering and balanced way to live with this undertaking and create a long and wonderful experience.

A more comprehensive approach to type 1

Hi, I’m BAILEY CARANO,

When Bailey was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at age 13, her whole life changed. Some of the changes were good, and some… were not, but 24 years later, (and counting), managing those life changes has inspired her to help others, particularly in creating strong support systems for Type 1 diabetics and families. With 24 years of first-hand experience as a diabetic, a degree in elementary education, and the motivation to bring the diabetic world closer together through support and knowledge, Type 1 YOU, was born.

When she isn’t catching her pump on door handles, Bailey likes to spend time with her husband and two dogs, Penelope and Harry. She enjoys all types of food made by her culinary graduate husband, loves to hang out with family, especially nieces and nephews and is inspired by all things creative.
