Not only did my Mom marry a type 1 diabetic - she also raised 2 type 1 diabetic children! In fact, my Mom was the ONLY NON-DIABETIC in our family home! She's had such a uniquely intimate and personal experience with type 1 diabetes from an outside perspective that I asked for your questions and she answers them here.
Thank you to everyone who asked questions and were so generous with their vulnerability. 💙
