In this video, we walk through exactly how parents can reduce overwhelm after a Type 1 Diabetes diagnosis by intentionally gathering the right professionals, supports, and resources around their family. From endocrinologists and diabetes educators to mental health support, school advocates, and community connections, you’ll learn how creating a structured care network can transform daily management and emotional resilience.

🎯 Whether you’re newly diagnosed or still feeling stuck in survival mode months or years later, this guide will help you understand:

✅ Who should be on your child’s Type 1 Diabetes care team
✅ How a strong care team reduces decision fatigue and caregiver burnout
✅ The essential roles of pediatric endocrinology, diabetes educators, nutrition support, and mental health professionals
✅ How to advocate for your child while avoiding parental overwhelm
✅ Practical steps to build support systems that improve blood sugar management and family wellbeing
✅ Why emotional support is just as important as medical support in T1D parenting

After a T1D diagnosis, many parents feel confused, anxious, and flooded with information. Carb ratios, insulin dosing, blood sugar trends, technology, and medical terminology can feel like learning a new language overnight. If you’ve ever felt like you were handed a medical degree you didn’t ask for, you are not alone.

If your child has recently been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, feeling overwhelmed is completely normal — but you don’t have to navigate this journey alone. One of the most powerful steps parents can take after diagnosis is building a strong, supportive diabetes care team that helps you move from fear and confusion to confidence and clarity.
