Wow, sorry man

A kid of my son's baseball team just got diagnosed with type 1 DM. Now he's got a Dexcom and an insulin pod (name brand escapes me). Huge changes for that family.

Best wishes to your son.

Came home from vacation and noticed my 12 year old had lost about 10lbs. He’s also been saying his vision is blurry.

Just out of curiosity, do they have the Dexcom or other continuous monitor?

All three have Medtronic pumps with continuous glucose monitors.

Diabetes doesn’t slow them down. One plays football - others ballroom dance.

Sorry man. But hey, if a kid is gonna get type 1 DM, let it be the kid of an internist. Hba1c = 6 forever.
