In this week’s episode I speak to Luke. Luke’s son, Noah, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at just 11 months old.

Luke and his wife Katie are both active in the online diabetes community. Luke explains that prior to Noah’s diagnosis there were missed opportunities for diagnosis after repeated trips to the doctor. There was also no family history of type 1 diabetes prior to Noah’s diagnosis. Luke’s story of becoming a type 1 parent to a child at a young age is very insightful.

We spoke about a number of topics including:

• Noah’s diagnosis story
• how Luke and wife Katie have adapted to life with a toddler living with type 1 diabetes
• the advice Luke would give to newly diagnosed parents
• the type 1 diabetes research projects they are taking part in

I enjoyed the conversation with Luke and I hop you did too. Luke can be found at:
