This scares me. #T1Dmom #insulin4all
She wrote to us, saying she was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when she was 4 years old. She’d search for someone who looked like her — with an insulin pump. Emmie asked us if we could include someone like her. This is her seeing herself in I AM SALLY RIDE.

To “celebrate” my son’s 20th #Diaversary (the anniversary of the day he was dx’d w/T1D) we have both his favorites—Boston Cream Pie AND Tiramisu! Because YES, he CAN eat that! Don’t believe the myths! #T1D #DOC #T1DMom #YesDiabeticsCanEatSugar #NoItsNotLikeYourGrammasDiabetes #DDay #GroundhogDay
20 years ago today my 6yo 45lb son was dx’d w/ #T1D. The #DOC community calls it a #diaversary We call it DDay. And it just so happens that it is on #GroundhogDay which is appropriate since it’s the same old shit over & over again day after day! #T1DMom #Insulin4All

Pump supply replenishment day always stresses me out. I feel like we need a whole closet devoted to T1D supplies. Or maybe it’s just the emotional toll of knowing this will be for her entire life. 💙
