Diabetes Connections

How much of yourself should you give up after your child is diagnosed?

This week on Diabetes Connections, I talked with Risely Health coach & T1D mom Abby Cooper about the emotional side of raising a child with type 1 diabetes.

Abby talked about parents whose entire world slowly shrinks after diagnosis. They're giving up hobbies, losing old friends and may feel like they're losing themselves as everything becomes diabetes. What is that doing to our kids? To us? How can we change that without sacrificing safety and good health?

It's one of my favorite conversations of the year, and I hope it encourages parents and the healthcare professionals who support them to think about diabetes care a little differently.
