Overview
Seven years ago, I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. It was one of the most daunting moments in my life, and I had no idea what my future would look like. For one of my classes, I had the opportunity to create a social media account, and I chose to make one about Type 1 Diabetes.
That is how @t1damelia was born.
My page focuses on the lifestyle of living with Type 1 Diabetes while juggling a busy schedule, as well as the educational side. Creating content that is easy to understand, relatable, and shareable for friends and family who want to learn more. Since creating this account, I have been able to build a community of other diabetics where we support each other, share experiences, and remind each other we are not alone in living life with Type 1 Diabetes.
Throughout 11 weeks, I was able to rebrand my account and set new goals and objectives. I created reels, carousels, Threads, Facebook posts, and so much more to share my content and to reach those goals.
Below is my case study with everything I achieved and created for @t1damelia
Case Study
Conclusion
Throughout this project, I was able to learn a lot, interact with my audience and reach new people, and build new relationships that I wouldn’t have been able to reach otherwise. I successfully grew my platforms, built engagement, and strengthened my connection with my audience. It also allowed me to develop as a creator and establish a clear direction for my content moving forward within the Type 1 Diabetes community.
