As a mother, it can be such a lonely, heartbreaking and stressful time learning to support and care for your child with diabetes. I know firsthand just how hard it can be, but I wanted to film this episode to let you know that you are not alone.

👟 What it was like for the first 12 months and how we got through it as a family

👟The four signs that you might be missing that indicate a possible diagnosis

👟 The one thing I was so scared to do as a Mum, but it has given us all so much freedom

👟 Why I chose pump therapy OVER injections

👟 The most common things I saw with type 1 diabetes children as a podiatrist
