Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the body stops making insulin, so insulin becomes essential every day. E10.9 is the form without complications. It's a lot to manage, especially for a child — but with the right tools and team, kids and adults with T1D live full, active lives.
Your first steps
- →Make sure you leave with a clear insulin and low-blood-sugar (hypoglycemia) plan in writing.
- →Ask about continuous glucose monitoring and pump options.
- →Get a school or workplace plan in place so caregivers know exactly what to do.
Questions to ask your care team
- ?What's our target range, and how do we treat a low or a high?
- ?Are we candidates for a CGM or insulin pump?
- ?What's the sick-day plan, and when do we go to the ER?
