For parents of T1D kids

You can't wear the CGM for them. You can build the net.

Parenting a kid with T1D means running a small logistics operation on top of regular parenting: school forms, sleepover briefings, coaches who need the two-minute version, and nights that involve more math than sleep.

This section is about building systems other people can follow, so the safety net holds even when you're not the one holding it.

What's here for you

  • School days: building a plan the school will actually follow
  • Briefing caregivers, coaches, and other parents without overwhelming them
  • Nighttime: sane approaches to the 2 a.m. question
  • The long handoff: growing a kid into their own care, gradually
