The path to acceptance with type 1 diabetes can be a bumpy one - but what about acceptance for the parents of children with type 1?
It's just one of the topics covered in this episode with business owner and mum of three Abby Lyons, who has published a book to help other families trying to come to terms with a child's type 1 diabetes diagnosis.
Abby's youngest son Rocco was diagnosed at just 2 years old, in 2020. In this episode we talk about the impact of her son's diagnosis experience on the whole family, and the overwhelm she felt and still sometimes feels when trying to make the best decisions for Rocco's health - along with the guilt that can provoke for a parent.
We also discuss how living with health conditions in the family has opened up honest and healthy conversations with her boys about mental health and wellbeing, and how her book, 'What is diabetes, anyway?' has not only helped Rocco move from shame to pride, but has helped Abby process her own experience to spread a hopeful message to others.
