Type 1 diabetes doesn’t mean she has to sit on the sidelines. It just means we have to make sure the people around her know how to keep her safe. 💙🩰

When I see Raelynn flying through the air on stage, I don’t just see a dancer. I see a little girl who refuses to let her diagnosis define what she’s capable of. 🥹❤️

But behind every leap, every performance, and every dance class is preparation, communication, and a team of people who understand her needs.

As parents, we can’t expect coaches and instructors to automatically know how to manage type 1 diabetes. It’s our job to help educate them and give them the tools to feel confident supporting our children.

That’s why I’m so thankful for resources from the American Diabetes Association that help families have these important conversations about blood sugar management, recognizing highs and lows, and preparing for emergencies.

Because our kids deserve more than just being included. They deserve to feel SAFE, SUPPORTED, and CONFIDENT while doing what they love.

Diabetes may be part of her story, but it will never be the reason she stops dancing. 💙✨

We found helpful resources about keeping kids with diabetes safe and active through the American Diabetes Association website: diabetes.org/family

One of the biggest things Wells is learning as he gets older isn’t just how to manage his diabetes… it’s when to ask for help. ❤️

At almost 6, he’s becoming more independent every day. He knows a lot about his diabetes and he’s learning that asking for help isn’t a setback. It’s part of taking care of himself.

School is a huge part of that.

Because when your child spends most of their day away from you, knowing they have people around them who understand their diabetes, and knowing they feel comfortable speaking up when they need help, matters so much.

As parents, we have a role in that too. Navigating diabetes at school can feel overwhelming, especially at the beginning of a new school year. From 504 plans and diabetes management plans to making sure teachers and staff know what to do, there are a lot of pieces to put together.

That’s why back-to-school resources, like the ones the American Diabetes Association offers, are so important. They’re there to help families understand their rights, advocate for their kids, and feel more prepared to send them through those school doors. Find more resources for families at diabetes.org/Family.

Because the goal isn’t for our kids to never need help.

It’s for them to know when they need it, how to ask for it, and who they can turn to when they do.

And then… let them go be kids. 🥹💙
