> Fortunately we have good insurance, and jobs. Can’t take that for granted these days. We’re an active family, lot’s of running, biking, hiking, skiing. And we’re generally upbeat. We won’t let this slow down our son, so I’m looking forward to joining FUDiabetes, for my son and myself to help him along. Cheers, ~Andre

Hi Andre,  
Welcome to FUD.

This is something I did for the parents last year. It’s a long thread, a lot of reading, but it might be of interest to you as a parent.

[For the parents](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/for-the-parents/7784)

It’s not really about treating diabetes though. It is different than the typical advice you get from diabetes forums. It doesn’t really talk about treating diabetes much at all.

I look forward to hearing about your son’s running!
