My son was diagnosed with T1D at age two. How was his first year away at college?

from Diabetes Connections | Type 1 Diabetes · host Stacey Simms

When my son was diagnosed with type 1 more than 17 years ago, the day he'd leave home seemed very far away, but also something we knew we needed to plan for. Well, Benny finished his Freshman year of college – he goes to school 300 miles away – and he's here to talk about it. We answer your questions about how it went, how he managed, how I managed and what's next. This podcast is not intended as medical advice.
