Amelia Lily, a competitor on the British singing talent show X-Factor, recently received glowing praise from the judges for her rendition of Janis Joplin's "Piece of My Heart." One judge raved, "That was amazing. You blew up the stage," and added that most people work their whole lives just to reach the level at which the 16-year-old Lily is already performing as reported by diabeticlive.com.

Most people don't know, however, that Lily was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of three, and that her diabetes requires her to carefully manage her meals, her blood sugar levels, and her daily insulin injections.

Good to see that Amelia is not afraid to openly talk about her diabetes, hopefully she'll go on to win and show the world that diabetes needn't be an obstacle to achieving your dreams.
