Show. Don’t tell. My daughter, who also has Type 1 Diabetes, would agree completely with your thesis (I would too). The writing needs to show who you are and why you say this. Just being T1D won’t convince anyone. Write about the things you have had to do because of this condition and let the readers reach the conclusion “what a mature and responsible” person this is (or whatever else you want them to know about you).

All day today, my daughter has been on the phone trying to transfer her endocrinology care (leaving for out of state college tomorrow). Release of informations, wrong fax numbers, prescriptions not being sent to the right pharmacy, and insurance issues are all part of her now-adult life.

Ultimately, you are writing about you. Not diabetes. But you can use it to show who you are and how you will contribute to the community.
