Mike and his wife, Steph, (attempt to) juggle work alongside various sports and activities that keep smiles on the faces of their three wonderful children: Grace (11), Madelynn (10), and Michael (8). Mike is a financial consultant with Sigma Financial helping individuals and small businesses navigate an increasing complex financial world, while Steph has worked in education the past ~20 years, currently helping The Morris Center\/Neurodevelopment of Words expand their mission of global literacy! Mike also serves on the Breakthrough T1D Jacksonville Community Board of Directors.<\/p>\n<p>Their middle child, Madelynn (aka \u201cMaddie\u201d), was diagnosed with type one diabetes (T1D) when she was 6 &amp; \u00bd years old in April 2020, roughly two months into the COVID-19 Pandemic.\u00a0 Maddie\u2019s favorite sport is gymnastics (she loves Simone Biles), enjoys the beach, fishing with her brother, goofing off with her older sister, and snugging up every night with their black lab \u201cMia\u201d (who follows Maddie everywhere, as they are best buds!).<\/p>\n<p>Three years since Maddie\u2019s diagnosis, Mike and Steph have worked to learn how to best manage her T1D as she grows up. Mike has gone through all the highs and lows with their family, and learned some helpful tips for caring for a loved one with T1D.\u00a0<strong>Below you will find some insightful, realistic advice and information that comes with being a T1D caregiver:<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><strong><em>Throughout your child\u2019s T1D journey, what have been the biggest challenges you faced?<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.breakthrought1d.org\/northernflorida\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/103\/2023\/12\/bosl-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7831 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.breakthrought1d.org\/northernflorida\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/103\/2023\/12\/bosl-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"355\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.breakthrought1d.org\/northernflorida\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/175\/2023\/12\/bosl-2.png 746w, https:\/\/www.breakthrought1d.org\/northernflorida\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/175\/2023\/12\/bosl-2-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 355px) 100vw, 355px\" \/><\/a>\u201cGreat question,\u201d says Mike. \u201cObviously, Maddie\u2019s health and safety (along with our other children) are the number one priority.\u00a0 For Maddie, the constant highs, lows, not feeling well, finger pricks at night, being a scared young child wondering if she will be okay, explaining to her friends what diabetes is, going through \u2018diabetes fatigue\u2019 (every meal, ever hour of every day and night, having to deal with the disease has been exhausting for her), as well as being the \u2018pink smurf\u2019 (i.e., different from other kids).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Mike and Steph as parents, they realized Maddie is going through something that they simply cannot comprehend.\u00a0 Yes, the situation has been hard on them, but they say it has also helped them focus on what is truly important in life: family, friends, kindness, gratitude, and knowing \u201cyou never know what someone else is going through.\u201d Mike would say that their caffeine intake has significantly increased the past 3.5 years (haha!).<\/p>\n<h4><strong><em>While adjusting to life with a child with type 1 diabetes, are there certain things you found that helped you better manage their disease?

Once he was finished, Maddie turned to me (something I will never forget) and said, \u2018you mean, you can have diabetes and still be a professional athlete?!\u2019 Her eyes lit up as she realized that the \u2018sky was the limit\u2019 \u2013 the HOPE &amp; BELIEF on her face brought tears to our eyes\u2026 oh, and Chad Muma remains her favorite player!\u201d ?<\/p>\n<h4><strong><em>What skills\/lessons has raising a T1D child taught you?
