T1D Dad’s Barbershop Talk
During and after the shock of being told your kid is diabetic, during and after the steep learning curve of medical needs and advocacy, during and after the attempt to find a new routine, it is always hard to find support as a dad / man of a T1D child. Most support groups will be composed of moms and it can be lonely being the only dad. This discussion will be open to any relevant topics to support each other. No judgment. No stupid question. No off-the-table topic. All we ask is to respect others, understand we are not all at the same level of comfort in sharing, and privacy matters.
This event repeats every three months on the 2nd Friday of the month from 12:00 – 1:00 pm Pacific Time
T1D Partner Support Group
Are you a partner, relative, spouse, or significant other of someone living with T1D? Helping support someone living with T1D comes with its own set of unique challenges. Come join the T1D partner community at our bimonthly virtual meet ups to hear from others, share advice, and receive support. Special speakers will present on specific topics, such as: sick day management, meal planning, mental support, hypoglycemia management, and more!
