Hey everyone! My name is Sonia Choukar. I’m 31 years old, and currently living in France. I’ve been living with Type 1 diabetes for 17 years.
I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 13 following an emotional shock. Before that, I had been sick several times without knowing the cause. A blood test finally revealed the truth. I spent a month in the hospital learning how to manage the disease, including administering insulin and monitoring my blood sugar. That experience left me feeling lost, and I struggled with self-confidence. To release the stress, I turned to sports, eventually finding my passion in boxing, where I quickly set my sights on competing.
Over time, I learned to live with this condition, and it has become my source of strength.
For my parents, it was a challenging time. They worried constantly about my health, though fortunately, the financial aspects of my care were fully covered.
