Counting Sheep and Getting Sleep for Young Children with T1D and Their Parents
Throwing bedtime diabetes management into the mix can make getting your child to bed at a certain time even more challenging – and diabetes-related needs or worries overnight can make it hard to get...
I Can’t Sleep
You wonder if it’s true — that this diagnosis is not your fault. You know it’s stupid, but you feel it. How can you not about the person you grew inside of you? He didn’t ask for this. You ask...
Maverick’s Story
The ambulance and firefighters come but I have no idea they are here. I'm lost in a low.
Up All Night
It's fair to say that my wife and I go up and down those stairs at least once a night, sometimes more. He's young and growing, so his numbers are erratic.
I was Afraid to Go to Sleep and Not Wake Up
Going through a burnout and as a result being diagnosed with depression and anxiety were my lowest point, but it’s all about honesty. My parents, my diabetes team nor my psychologists saw the warnin...

T1D Kids Summer Survival: How to Thrive Out of Routine
It’s true that diabetes feels more manageable with routine, but that doesn’t mean a summer of fun and adventure is out of the question!
Self-care is Never Selfish for Parents of Kids with Diabetes
Being a parent can be one of the most rewarding – and most tiring jobs a person does. Add a child with type 1 diabetes to the mix, and all bets are off!
I Think We Saved Our Son’s Life Last Night
I thought, “This is probably just a combination of a night terror (though he’s never had one before) and a low.” But, then it got weird and scary. He adamantly refused the juice now and was shak...
My Human Has Type 1
I always go and sit right next to her outside the shower, so she knows how much I love her and want her to not be sick. Because guess what? When my mom is sick, she can’t play with me or take me for...
A T1D Love Story
I’ll never forget the moment Ryan tested my blood sugar for the first time. It was early in our relationship; early enough that my stomach still did backflips whenever he called or texted; so early ...
