Last planning meeting with staff to share dexcom data, hand over supplies and medication in our school cosy library and some reassurance for the days away from home. ❤️
So much planning went into this school trip, additional profiles in the pump, back up plans in case they need to go manual with needles, key staff taking ill at the last minute. Phewww

Three sharps bins outside our front door waiting for collection.

Each one filled with needles, lancets and cannulas that have all been used on our child’s body to manage Type 1 Diabetes.

Most people never see this side of it.

Day by day you just get on with it. But when it’s all sitting there together in big yellow bins, the reality really hits.

This is what keeping a child with Type 1 Diabetes alive looks like.

Relentless.
Every single day. 💙

Mum and I on those routine visits. ❤️
Anyone with Type1 will know how often we have to go in to be checked , reviewed and adjusted as we grow. 5 years in and it’s starting to look familiar.
