In her TED Talk, she highlights the differences between type 1 and type 2 diabetes while breaking down the reality of living with what is often referred to as the "incurable disease." She invites the audience to see type 1 diabetes as more than just a diagnosis and instead as a circumstance that provided her with the ability to control and understand her body better. Riana Thadani, a type 1 diabetic of over 10 years, challenges the misconceptions and stereotypes that surround her condition. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
