It's Not Just You

Education


Today we hear first hand what it's like when the unthinkable happens: your child is diagnosed with a chronic autoimmune disease. My guest Erin tells her and her family's story about her son Mason's diagnosis at just 3 years old. She gives us some great insight and education on Type 1 Diabetes, what it looks like for their family and her son managing it every minute of every day, and talks about how the current Covid-19 Pandemic is affecting them and the very real threat it is to a person with an immunity suppressive disease. For continued T1Diabetes resources, education and inspiration, you can follow Erin on instagram at @1mightytype1familyBeyond Type 1 https://beyondtype1.org/JDRF https://www2.jdrf.org/If you know someone that could benefit from this podcast, please consider sharing. Do you want to share your story or struggle to help others? Email me at itsnotjustyou.apodcast@gmail.com or find me on instagram: @itsnotjustyou.apodcastFacebook It's Not Just You Podcast *Don't forget to rate, review, and subscribe to this podcast and let me know what you think!
