Summary
Sarah Picklo Halabu, MS, RDN, LDN, BC-ADM, CDCES lives the diabetes journey every day—and that’s exactly what called her to this work. Diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at age nine, Sarah understands firsthand the emotional weight, complexity, and resilience required to manage chronic illness.
