Parenting and Partnership: Working Through Your Child's T1D Diagnosis Together

tk.type1

TK.Type1 helps children and families get resources and support to thrive with T1D — including scholarships for diabetes camp, coaching & technology!

This is why we do what we do. 💙 Behind every Type This is why we do what we do. 💙

Behind every Type 1 diabetes diagnosis is a person, a family, and a whole new world to navigate—filled with numbers, alarms, decisions, expenses, and uncertainty.

The families featured in this post remind us exactly why TK.Type 1 exists: to make sure people living with T1D and their families have access to the financial support, education, and personalized coaching they need to feel more confident and empowered. 

From helping cover essential diabetes supplies like insulin and CGMs to providing 1-on-1 diabetes management coaching, we’re here to help families spend less time worrying about the burdens of T1D and more time living their lives.

To every family who has trusted us with their story: thank you. Your words remind us every day why this work matters. 🥹🫂

You don’t need to know everything about Type 1 diabetes. But understanding the basics can make a huge difference in helping a student feel safe, supported, and included at school.

We made this as a quick guide to the things T1D students and their loved ones wish more people understood.

When a child is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, th When a child is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, the whole family is diagnosed with it too.

For Kenny, Alex’s diagnosis came completely out of nowhere—and in an instant, the future felt uncertain.

Through T1D coaching with @riselyhealth , Kenny found the support, confidence, and community to realize: they didn’t have to navigate this alone.

No one should ever have to navigate T1D alone. 💙

Sending your child with T1D back to school can bring a whole different kind of anxiety.

You pack the supplies, talk to the teachers, and prepare for every “what if”… but eventually, you have to let them walk through those doors without you.

You don’t have to have every possible scenario figured out. You’ve prepared them, advocated for them, and taught them how to navigate life with T1D.

And if you’re looking for more support (or simply a community that gets it) you’ve found it. 🫶🫂

To the parent wondering what life will look like n To the parent wondering what life will look like now… this is it.

Not perfect. Not without T1D.

But full of moments that are still just… childhood.

Kaylee will be 7 years past diagnosis on August 27. And while T1D is still part of her everyday life, so is being a kid. 🩵

We know how hard those first few months—and even years—can be. The fear, the questions, the constant learning, and wondering if life will ever feel normal again…

📣TK.Type 1 was born from a simple belief: no family should have to navigate this alone. 

If you’re a T1D parent or caregiver looking for support, you’ve found the right place. Welcome to TK.Type 1! 🫂🫶

Friday was one for the books! 🎡☀️💙 We had such a Friday was one for the books! 🎡☀️💙

We had such a great time being part of the Camp SOHO Annual Fair 2026—bringing the community together for a day filled with good food, BBQ, raffles, and plenty of fun, all while supporting an incredible cause.

Together, we were able to raise nearly $6,000 for TK.Type 1! 🙌

We’re so grateful to everyone who came out, donated, participated, and helped make the day such a success. It was amazing to see our community come together to support families living with Type 1 diabetes.

Here’s to making a difference, one event at a time! ✨
