“Life with Lukas before diagnosis seems so far away now. Our life with a 1 year old with type 1 has become a day and night full of decisions we didn’t know existed before. My biggest takeaway from this experience so far is that our son is so resilient. Could you imagine feeling all the highs and lows and waking up in the middle of the night to eat and finger pokes and site changes and not being able to understand any of it? I wish I didn’t have to know how resilient he is, but am so thankful that he is so much stronger than me. The best advice we been given in regards to having a tiny T1 is to always let him be a kid first and a diabetic second.”
