💙 NOVEMBER DIABETES AWARENESS MONTH 💙
To all the amazing people we've met along the way this year, thank you. Thank you for the advice, the friendships, the laughs, the reassurance and for reminding us that we're not doing this alone.
To anyone newly diagnosed or supporting someone who is, you are not alone either. There is a whole community out there ready to support you. 💙
As many of you may not know, our son lives with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D).
Before diabetes became part of our lives, we never truly understood just how much goes into managing this condition.
💙 The constant blood sugar checks.
💙 The insulin injections or pump management.
💙 The counting of carbohydrates.
💙 The sleepless nights.
💙 The highs, the lows, and the worries that come with them.
💙 The strength and resilience our son shows every single day.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition. It happens when the body mistakenly attacks the pancreas cells that produce insulin.
❌ It is NOT caused by eating too much sugar.
❌ It is NOT caused by an unhealthy lifestyle.
❌ It is NOT something our son will simply grow out of.
❌ There is currently NO cure.
Type 1 diabetes can develop at any age, and knowing the warning signs could save someone's life.
