In 2023, 9-year-old Declan was rushed to the ED and diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes.
But what is it like for a child? How does it affect their day to day lives?
Make sure you curl up with your little one and take a listen to this episode together, and it might leave you feeling more positive about your diagnosis 💙
In this very special episode, I ask Declan:
- What a ‘low’ feels like in his words
- His experiences with pumps versus injections
- His favourite experiences about having diabetes (skip the queue at Disneyland??)
- How he manages at primary school and how is friends react
- What it is like to play sport with Type 1 Diabetes
- Why he wouldn’t take Diabetes away even if he could
If you are a parent with a newly diagnosed child, or just need a little more support then make sure to go back and listen to our previous episode, ‘My Son Was Diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes: How We Survived the First 12 Months’ I talk all about the first 12 months and how to get through it, symptoms you might not be aware of and why I chose pump therapy OVER injections.
We have partnered with JDRF, and will be donating one dollar from every online order at SynxBody to help research and advocacy in spreading awareness of type 1 diabetes. Head over to www.synxbody.com.
