Iesha M, former head of Arizona’s Insulin4All Chapter, shares what it’s like to ration insulin to survive.
Her experience advocating for access to insulin led to a visit to the White House, and her time supporting T1International’s Insulin4All campaign.
Meet Iesha
Iesha M is from Phoenix, Arizona. Diagnosed in 2012 at age 20, just 3 days before her 21st birthday, she’s since had a bit of a wild ride with T1D.
From rationing insulin and almost dying from DKA, to speaking at the White House on advocacy for access to insulin, Iesha is a strong voice in the Insulin4All movement.
