In this episode, I speak to my good friends Sonja and Pete who are type 1 parents to Kat. 
Kat was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in November 2016 however her symptoms started in 2015. In my conversation with Sonja and Pete, we talk about aspects of life as a type 1 parent including: 

• Kat's diagnosis story

• the difference diabetes technology had made in helping to manage Kat's type 1 diabetes
• the many challenges they have had to face as a family with the education system in Australia and much more

Sonja and Pete were open in sharing their own individual and shared perspectives of their type 1 diabetes journey. You can find Kat on social media here and Sonja here.
