Thanks for visiting. This site is family run and does not receive sponsorship from any companies.

I don’t recommend any specific products as I don’t have experience (or time) to test and compare them, but what I hope is to raise your awareness of the type of products and tools available to help, so that you can do your own research and find the right solution for you.

I created this site because when my first child was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) in 2023 it was a complete shock, and I found that it took months and years to gain knowledge and experience that I would have appreciated much earlier. In fact I’m still learning new things all the time, which is the main reason for creating this site. My second child was diagnosed in 2025 and it was a shock all over again, and I learned that T1D is not a one-size-fits-all condition but can be unique to each person. I also found that there was a lot of information about T1D on the web, and even in books, but almost nothing that was specifically aimed at the needs of the parents involved. That’s what this site is about…..

I assume that you are here because your child, or perhaps the child of someone you know, was recently diagnosed with T1D, and you are looking for information and resources to help. If so, this site is intended to be focused on practical help, meaning minimum words and maximum assistance to you, the parent.

To be clear, the author of this website is not a medical professional, qualified counsellor, or even highly experienced veteran of parenting children with diabetes. As you can see above I have just a few years of experience at this, but I can say it has been a tough learning curve, and one with some surprises along the way, and I hope that this website can help you to climb that curve a bit quicker and a bit smoother than I did. As I learn more, I will aim to add to this site to share my experiences, but my assumption is that the first years are the hardest and so that is my focus now. However, as it clearly says at the top of this website, all of this content is about MY experiences and learning, and it may not 100% map to your situation; therefore, take this website as general information about what I have learned about my family situation, but never consider it to be more important than the information and guidance that your child’s medical team will provide to you.

At the time of writing this I don’t have time to create a community around this website, and so much of the content will be static for now, but I hope over time if it proves to be helpful to people we may be able to expand into a community that can support each other beyond the simple limitations of my little site, and eventually I’ll ask for feedback and ideas and even contributions to grow this site to something amazing.

For now, know that you are not alone in feeling lost and I hope this site can help…..
