This episode is one of the most personal I’ve ever recorded. Today I sit down with Louise Murray, dietitian, diabetes educator, and mum to a daughter with type 1 diabetes, and together we have the conversation we wish someone had prepared us for. Because nothing, nothing, prepares you for the day your child is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. We talk about the reality behind the scenes that most people will never understand: he grief, the sleep deprivation, the guilt, the trauma responses, the fear siblings carry, the school challenges, the food confusion, the pump debates… and the invisible load parents carry every single day. You’ll learn: 0:09 – What we didn’t understand about type 1 diabetes as health professionals 3:30 – What we wish more clinicians knew about T1D in children 6:39 – Louise’s first year as a T1D parent: the grief, the guilt, the sleepless nights 8:41 – How her son coped with his sister’s diagnosis (and why siblings are often forgotten) 11:41 – Returning to school after diagnosis 13:48 – The reality of sleepovers with children who have Type 1 Diabetes 25:25 – Should kids choose their own pump? Or is that a parent’s call? 28:09 – The exhausting and stressful nights parents don’t talk about 33:20 – Our grocery bills… 39:35 – The rise in kids being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes 40:39 – Why you need to find another parent who understands what it’s like to have a child with T1D 44:40 – Louise’s daily non-negotiable to help keep her sane … and SO much more.
