When a child is diagnosed with T1D, the whole family lives it too. đ
The midnight checks, carb counting, constant worry, and endless love â parents carry it every single day.
In this episode of Voices of T1D, host Raquel Baron sits down with licensed counselor Chikeitha Owens and behavioral researcher Sam Tullman to discuss the emotional weight of living with T1D. Together, they unpack the parts of T1D that are often hard to explain â the pressure to always get it right, the quiet self-blame when T1D feels unpredictable, and the challenge of carrying T1D without letting it define every moment.
Episode 3 is available now on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts. đď¸

I truly love how far the tech has come and wouldnât trade dosing from my phone for the world⌠but I find myself checking my blood sugar way more often than I need to and the next thing I know, I am on socials! Itâs just excessive at this point and these are things Iâve implemented the last few months to help that.

Who is gonna join me?!!
Itâs better over here!
(Of course I donât want to ignore the fact that I am incredibly privileged to have access to the tools I do and in forever grateful for that BUT that doesnât mean type 1 diabetes isnât still hard and that this mindset shift hasnât helped me!)

âYou canât eat that.â People living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) hear this all the time, but itâs not true.
T1D isnât about restriction. Itâs about understanding your body, counting carbs, and learning how to adjust insulin over time.

CT/DC !!
This part of my trip feels like forever ago at this point but spending time with @yourejustmytype is always the best and then getting to go to DC to advocate for affordable insulin was such an empowering experience!
These are the moments I never want to forget.
Blood sugars while traveling are always a little all over the place. The not sleeping enough, weird eating schedules, adrenaline and time zone changes make things tricky! Itâs super normal to have different blood sugars when your life looks different. I try to remind myself that when things feel out of control.
Special times!!
