Can I do something with my 14-year-old kid who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes after listening to the episode #751 Bold Beginnings: School and the clip Navigating School with Diabetes
I am curious if you know anything that the masses may not about this condition. I never truly understood why I became diabetic, and neither did the doctors. I know the general explanation of why and how it happens, but there has never been a root cause explanation.
How much are you figuring out as you go? I'm sure with 15 kids it perhaps hasn't happened yet, but eventually you're going to identify a child with an eating disorder. Do you have services in mind already? Where to guide people to? What about when you meet somebody who can't afford, I don't know, insulin or supplies?
