[quote=Anonymous]It is super overwhelming it in the beginning and it gets so much easier over time!

If you can afford a private CDE, I highly recommend Ellie Kagan. ekagan@diabetesesolutions.com

We didn’t need her help all that long, but in the beginning, she was a really helpful resource

If you haven’t already got it, I highly recommend the book think like a pancreas

Also, I found the juice box podcast to be incredibly helpful in the beginning.  It’s really good at teaching you how to take control your own management and be less reliant on that endocrinologist.   There is a bold beginnings series that’s a good starting point, and then there are the pro tips series, which are really helpful in the more nuanced parts of Management, like dealing with reactions to weather, travel, altitude, etc..  There is an associated Facebook group as well. That is a really helpful community.

There’s a Facebook group called mid Atlantic type one parents, which will help you find  local help

Breakthrough T1 D will also have different groups you can join and start getting involved with the community. The diabetes walk is this weekend on the mall!  It’s a great way to be surrounded by other diabetics and have it feel more normal[/quote]
