#159: Strength in Numbers: One Family's Battle with Diabetes

Can you imagine navigating the waters of a Type 1 Diabetes diagnosis as a family, learning to manage it together, and even evolving with it? Well, that's what this episode is all about. In this episode I sit down with Grayson, a brave 13-year-old who took his 2020 diagnosis in stride, his mother Sarah, who has been the primary caregiver for Grayson, and his dad Brian, a Type 1 diabetic himself for over 30 years. We dive deep into how Sarah and Brian have helped Grayson manage his condition, influenced by Brian's own experiences. Learn all about the 504 plan they've implemented to create a supportive environment for Grayson both at home and school, dietary changes they've made, and how they’ve navigated insurance issues. We also dissect the evolution of Type 1 Diabetes management technology, comparing the Medtronic pump and the Omnipod, discussing the benefits of moving to the G6, and the challenges of dealing with insurance for medical supplies. This episode is not just educational, but also inspiring as it shines a light on the strength and resilience of families dealing with a Type 1 Diabetes diagnosis. So tune in, as we explore the hardships and the triumphs, the challenges and the solutions, and the strength of a family united in managing Type 1 Diabetes.Visit My Diabetes ResourcesWatch the Podcast on YouTubeWebsite: www.simplifyingdiabetes.comNewsletter"More Than A1C" - A 10-week 1on1 Coaching ProgramThe Free 5-Pillars Of Diabetes Success  - Give AwayDon't forget to check out Ancient Bliss an herbal supplement company.Use Discount Code KEN20 for 20% off at check out.Have a question or comment, send me a DM or email.
