It’s been 100 days of Type 1 Diabetes and NOTHING holds him back!
💙100 days into life with Type 1 Diabetes 🤍
Becoming the mom of a T1D kid changed everything overnight. 100 days in, we’re still learning—but we’re also adapting, growing, and finding our new normal. So proud of this kid.
Not the journey we’d ever choose, but here we are . I feel tired, proud, and hopeful. These last 100 days have taught me how much love can stretch, how worry never really turns off, and how strong a kid (and a mom) can become when there’s no other option. I still wish I could take this all on for him, but I’m learning how to walk beside him instead. This is going to be okay.
The last 30 days with Pablo the Pump (aka. Omnipod 5) has been a game changer. Fewer shots, more flexibility, and days that feel more normal. Pump site changes are usually pretty smooth… sometimes there are tears (because he’s 12 and this stuff is hard) but even then, he bounces back, and we move on.
What amazes me most is how independent he’s becoming—helping manage his pump, paying attention to his numbers, and taking ownership in ways I didn’t expect so soon. I’m still right here, but he’s finding his confidence. Learning more every day, celebrating small wins, adjusting when we have a hard day, and finding our rhythm for what works for him to keep him in a healthy range.
He’s gone on his first sleepover. Tackled his first overnight school trip. We’ve learned how to fly with Type 1 Diabetes and realized it is possible. Outdoor sports are picking back up and proving that it might mean planning—but it doesn’t mean missing out.
