Awilda is a retired McDonald\u2019s franchise owner that shares five grandchildren with her husband. Their grandson, Noah, was diagnosed with type one diabetes (T1D) at just 20 months old.<\/p>\n<p>When Noah was diagnosed, his blood sugar had spiked to over 1,000 and he was on the verge of a diabetic coma.\u00a0 After spending days in the hospital learning how to administer insulin injections and take blood sugar readings, Awilda\u2019s family went home and started their journey of becoming caregivers for Noah.<\/p>\n<p>Since Noah\u2019s diagnosis, Awilda and her family have worked to learn how to best manage his T1D as he grows up. <strong>Below you will find some insightful, realistic advice and information that comes with being a T1D caregiver:<\/strong><\/p>\n<h5><strong><em>Throughout your child\u2019s T1D journey, what have been the biggest challenges you faced?<\/em><\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.breakthrought1d.org\/northernflorida\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/103\/2024\/02\/Awilda-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7857 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.breakthrought1d.org\/northernflorida\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/103\/2024\/02\/Awilda-1-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>\u201cDealing with a toddler with T1D was extremely difficult,\u201d explains Awilda. \u201cThe frequent finger pricks and injections hurt, and it tore at your heart to see him in pain.\u201d As Noah grew older and more accustomed to the requirements of his condition, Awilda says that it became a bit easier.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever there\u2019s a T1D diagnosis in the family, it can be a scary time. In the case of young children, it\u2019s difficult for them to know that something isn\u2019t right. Breakthrough T1D has a ton of resources specifically for infants, toddlers, and young children who have recently been diagnosed with T1D. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breakthrought1d.org\/t1d-resources\/newly-diagnosed\/children\/\">Click here<\/a> to find everything you need to establish your new normal.<\/p>\n<h5><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?
