In this episode, Lisa shares how her son, Hudson, was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of 20 (9 years after her daughter Juniper was diagnosed) by playing a silly little game at home. We'll see if they ever play that game again.
We chat about the the vast difference in catching a diagnosis early versus in DKA, going into a second diagnosis with a solid foundation of knowledge this time, how the hospital barely let them leave with a prescription for insulin, the difference in a toddler and adult diagnosis, the things they wish happened at their very first end appointment with T1D that lasted all of 20 minutes, and all the amazing things Hudson is doing despite living with T1D.
