"There are days where you'll feel on top of your game and others where you'll feel worn down and done with the extra hassle around every meal. In some ways, Type 1 diabetes is like you've had another child join the family. At first, like a newborn, the diabetes will need a lot of deliberate care and focus, but as time goes on, it will not be as time intensive and you all will become used to how it fits into your family."
