About

I’m the parent of a six-year-old who was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at age two. I’m also a teacher. Our family runs an Ypsomed pump, a Dexcom CGM, CamAPS FX, Nightscout, Sugarpixel, and a growing pile of small AI tools — so when I write about this stuff, I’m writing from inside it, not from the outside looking in.

t1dparents.tech is a passion project. No ads, no affiliates, no sponsorships, no paid tiers. If anything I write is useful to another parent, that’s the whole point.

What you’ll find here:

• Toolbelt — how-to guides for the tech I use (and sometimes the tech I tried and dropped).
• Real Life — short journal entries from the messy middle.
• Parent’s Question — the questions parents keep asking in Reddit and FB groups, answered by actually looking at the science.
• Evidence Desk — original experiments and comparisons I run myself. Lower cadence, higher rigor.

What you won’t find:

• General emotional support, nutrition advice, or cure-chasing — there are better places for that.
• Adult T1D self-management — staying in the parent lane.
• Breathless news coverage of every new device press release.

Nothing here is medical advice. Your kid’s care team is the only one who can give you that.
