Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is not considered a rare disease according to the numbers. The T1D community is quite large and includes people of all ages, races, geography, and conditions.
However, many of our guests use the technology developed for T1D patients. In fact, Brittany’s daughter Everleigh relies on the Dexcom G7 to manage her glucose levels. In this episode we speak with Suzanne Hansen, a mother of twins, one of whom was diagnosed with T1D just a few weeks after her second birthday. Suzanne has become part of Brittany’s inner circle of T1D experts. We talk a lot about the tech, but the real story is the power of connecting with others who get what you are going through.
Suzanne is active in her local T1D Facebook group and shares her story regularly on Instagram to help others who are trying to manage their kiddos glucose levels.
