Delight start by observation this short video that Vanessa and her husband made exclusively for the 'Mine, explaining what she and her video show's all about:

And now for our gossip with Vanessa…

DM) Thanks for connecting, Vanessa! We always like to start with people's diagnosing stories…

I was diagnosed with T1D along October 20th, 2000. I still remember it like-minded it was yesterday. I literally only had symptoms for to a lesser degree one week! I went come out of the closet for Chinese food with my family on Sunday… and starting that night I was really thirsty, and got upwards about four multiplication that night to urinate. All week long at school I had to leave each course at least once to use the bathroom and go to the weewe fount. For the prototypic sidereal day operating theater two, my mom thought maybe I had just eaten something genuinely salty when we went for Chinese, but when it continued through the week she knew something was going on.

My ma is a nurse, and she is one of those moms where every symptom means we have something horrible… Haha. She was like, "these are signs of type 1 diabetes!" And I just laughed it off saying, "stop it mom, I'm fine!" Away that Friday she had me in a medico's office to have my water checked and a blood glucose trial. Certainly, I was diagnosed with diabetes.

Anyone else in your family with D?

Nope, I'm the lucky 1!

What do you do professionally?

Past day, I am a hospice admission nurse. It's very rewarding work, but I definitely let my days where it's tough. I am also an actress! Because of needing medical checkup insurance, I regrettably will never cost able to pursue it full time — simply I feature fortunately had my ploughshare of commercial jobs and little parts here and thither, sol I still feel the likes of I rile live my dream part time!

Sounds like you were always interested in entertaining and being happening tv camera…

I've been in look of the camera since I was a kid. I used to Implore my grandp to let me use his camera equally a child, and I would force play my siblings to be in all my videos with Pine Tree State and I would act and direct the most absurd videos… Haha… Super fun to watch now as an adult! As I got older, I started acting in commercials, TV shows, and movies- ground at first, so I started getting actual parts in things.

OK, then what's your INSPIRED series all well-nig?

Inspired is something I started doing because I impartial really wanted to breathe in women especially — to step outside their comfort zone and non care what anyone thinks of them. This goes for their weight and how they desire to dress, inspiring all women to believe that we are beautiful, no count what society tries to make us conceive. I also essa to inspire work force and women to try new things. Like skydiving — one of my favorite activities which I do alone leastways a few times per month, and sometimes a few multiplication per week! 🙂

The series is not 100% diabetes, but there are a number of D-related videos, right…?

Yes, I accept several Inspired diabetes episodes — inspiring another diabetics to vital a happy, healthy, and fulfilled life despite having diabetes. I have whatsoever inspection videos on the t:slim and Dexcom, and last for my 15th diaversary, I likewise made a diabetes medicine video that's ridiculous and funny, and evenhanded… crazy. All PWDs should in spades condition that one outgoing!

Have you finished any telecasting interviews with other D-peeps?

Alas none of these yet, beyond some video work I have gone my local JDRF chapter where I interviewed a few diabetics at our gala this year. It was a Gatsby theme and everyone looked so awesome! Lots of fun!

Can you tell US about the cool INSPIRED fashion show fundraiser consequence you held in April?

Going on with my inspired theme that we are all beautiful, I decided to take up a fashion picture in April as a fundraiser for my JDRF walk team up. I open IT to anyone who wanted to have the opportunity to walk in a fashion show… No matter their size, height, weightiness, etc. This was different than a regular fashion picture, because there was no more designer. IT was all about the models themselves — they were the stars of the show! I had finished 45 models. Information technology was a sold out show with some 165 guests. All the models, hairstylists, makeup artists and a DJ donated their metre for the cause which was amazing. After entirely my costs for the venue, I concluded up being able to raise $2,211 for JDRF.

Right after it ended everyone was electronic messaging me saying, "are we doing this next yr? I'm in if soh!" So yes, it looks like IT testament be a yearly thing to raise finances. Next class, I'll probably get a bigger position, and raise additive funds with a silent vendue and raffles.

Whatever other diabetes protagonism you're knotty with?

I also exercise a video recording blog for my local chapter of the JDRF. Information technology's all astir topics we type 1s deal with and I try to do it in a funny way — which is my personality. No need to be dejected or upset with life. I enjoy everything, and do all the things I put my mind to. That's what it's all close to in life story — being inspired to do anything and everything you want!

Thanks for sharing your story and that extraordinary video, Vanessa! We look forward to seeing what else you produce for INSPIRED and for our Diabetes Community.
