Disney Channel’s Jennifer Stone Shares Her Diabetes Story
Jennifer Stone, best known as Harper on the Disney Channel’s Wizards of Waverly Place, was diagnosed with diabetes four years ago. At the time, she was told to give up her dream of acting. Instead, she found a great care team, got educated, and leaned on the support of family and friends. She has two movies coming out in 2018.
Jennifer has latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), which is sometimes called type 1.5. Diabetes Connections host Stacey Simms and talks with Jennifer about what that means and why it’s often misdiagnosed.
