When you’re managing Type 1 diabetes, somehow everyone has an opinion. Your endo has recommendations, your spouse may see things differently, grandparents and caregivers have their own comfort levels, other T1D families swear by what works for them, and the internet definitely isn’t short on advice. And now, with automated insulin delivery, sometimes the tech gets a say too.
But at the end of the day… who actually gets to make the diabetes decisions?
In this episode, we’re talking about navigating all the voices that come with raising a child with T1D, figuring out whose input actually matters, and learning to trust yourself as the person making hundreds of diabetes decisions every single day. We get into the gray areas where there isn’t one “right” way to manage T1D, when we trust the tech versus when we override it, how our own approaches have changed over time, and what happens when the people (or algorithms) involved in your child’s care don’t necessarily agree.

S2E7 | RT1 Unfiltered
Welcome back to RT1 Unfiltered!
No outline, no perfectly planned topic, and absolutely no guarantee we stay on track.
In the first Unfiltered episode of Season 2, we’re catching up, talking about what’s been happening in our T1D lives lately, and going wherever the conversation takes us. The wins, the frustrations, the random side quests, and all the things we’d probably be texting each other about anyway.
Basically, it’s Raising Type 1 with the filter completely off. Come hang out with us!

S2E6 | Vacation Mode-ish: Part 2
We’re back for Part 2, and this time we’re getting into the side of traveling with type 1 diabetes that you can’t exactly fit on a packing list.
We’re talking through vacation “what would you do?” scenarios, the unexpected decisions that come with managing T1D away from home, and what vacation really looks like from the caregiver perspective. We also get into the pressure we put on ourselves to make these trips magical for our kids, even when blood sugars aren’t cooperating and diabetes refuses to stay in the background.
Because sometimes the hardest part of vacation with T1D isn’t figuring out what to pack or how to dose the food. It’s learning how to let go of perfect, roll with what diabetes throws at you, and still make the memories you came for.
If you haven’t listened to Part 1 yet, start there for all the practical stuff: food, packing, theme parks, flying, road trips, and how we plan for traveling with T1D.
