“I was diagnosed as an adult! I wish I knew the wide range of medical technology options I had, seeing a REAL day in the life of a T1D, understanding my medical plan options and things like FSA or HSA), finding accounts on simple HOW TOs: change dexcom, fix errors, what to do if I bleed a lot etc, loop holes, or tips and tricks Dr won't tell you! Basically seeing the reality of living with typel via social media or meeting other diabetics and how it's not as scary as it sounds in the hospital/with DRs.

Lastly, it's SO overwhelming in the beginning but I hope they know: they know best for their body and as time passes you will be your biggest advocate for your body and know what it needs.”
