In this episode for moms, dads, and caregivers of T1D kids, I’m joined by not one, but TWO guests: sisters and TikTok stars Bellé and Ana Krueger! Bellé and Ana are two out of eight siblings from Wisconsin. Six out of the eight siblings all live with type one diabetes. This episode is a fascinating look into the benefits and unexpected challenges of growing up with T1D siblings. We discuss… The Krueger family tree and the different timelines of T1D diagnoses How relationships with type one diabetes can be so vastly different from person to person, even while growing up in the same exact environment The importance of communication and how their parents manage six children with different T1D needs  The power of social media within the T1D community and so much more!

The topic of today’s episode really lights me up. It’s not just talking about A1C in general that lights me up but more so diving into the tangible steps to focus on at every level. Here’s the thing: Everyone has their unique, personal journey with diabetes, AND… in the past 7 years of working with T1Ds, I’ve learned that many of us have similar experiences and challenges while trying to lower our A1Cs. So, in this episode we're going to discuss exactly where your focus needs to be based on your current A1C and break down the tangible next steps you need to take to achieve your goal. BONUS! Two exciting opportunities we have going on this week: This Saturday, July 23, 2022, we are having a FREE, in-person T1D meetup in NYC.
