@marleebrandon: November is Diabetes Awareness Month, so we’re going to spend this month teaching y’all all about Type 1 diabetes and what it looks like for Bain to grow up with it! ❤️ Bain has Type 1 diabetes, which means his pancreas doesn’t make insulin. His body needs insulin to stay alive! When he eats, food turns into sugar called glucose, and insulin helps move that sugar from his blood into his cells so his body can use it for energy. Since his pancreas doesn’t make insulin, we have to give it to him. He wears an insulin pump, and every 48 hours we change out his pump site. His pump gives him insulin throughout the day, so he doesn’t have to get a shot every single time he wants a snack or needs extra insulin to correct a high blood sugar. We’re going to talk about all the little things that go into managing T1D, the devices Bain wears, the things people might not understand, and what everyday life looks like for our family. There is SO much more to Type 1 diabetes than most people realize, and if we can help even one person understand it a little better this month, that’s a win for us. So welcome to Diabetes Awareness Month with Bain! 🩵 #diabetesawarenessmonth #t1d #t1dtoddler #typeonediabetes #diabetes
