Olivia Mendez, 15, has a big dream: She wants to become a professional commercial dancer one day. And with her charm, impressive work ethic and passion for dance, she seems well on her way. But there?s more to Olivia than meets the eye: She has type 1 diabetes, which means she constantly has to monitor her blood sugar level to keep herself healthy. How does she manage? Olivia tells DS what it?s really like for a dancer living with diabetes.
I love dancing more than anything in the world. My mom put me in my first dance class when I was 5, and at 7 I joined In The Spotlight studio in my hometown, Waldwick, NJ. By the time I was 11, I knew I wanted to be a dancer.
