What this video covers

Makeup artist Alexys Fleming (Madeyewlook) uses body painting and special effects makeup to tell her personal story of living with Type 1 Diabetes in a 'Draw My Life' format. Painted insulin pens on her chest represent the medications she has actually used throughout her life, blending Halloween artistry with genuine personal advocacy. The video doubles as a Diabetes Awareness Month tribute, pushing back against common misconceptions and stigma surrounding the condition.
