hello and welcome to TuDiabetes. I'm always ready to help parents of children with type 1. I'm a type 1 and I started at 10 years old. And I remember how it was difficult for my parents. So If you need my experiences I'm here! Bienvenue.

She's beautiful! There is a good group of parents here, and one I have been talking to is Annette - her son Jay is t1. Reach out when it is confusing, scary, or if you just need to vent. There are many kind and smart people here who will put their arms around you, and say, "I've been there - I know what you're going through!"
