In Episode 19, Hayley shares her very recent experience after going on school camp with her youngest son who has T1D. She talks about the decision-making process of whether to go as a parent, the communication side of things and planning of camp with the school, as well as navigating all the extra activities and camp menu. Some very practical tips are shared in this episode. We also talk about the challenges with children not particularly wanting a parent on their camp. We chat about how they managed the insulin pump and CGM side of things, switching back to injections for a day due to water-based activities. Hayley reflects on the emotional side of this experience, and it certainly wasn’t her first, as her eldest son also has T1D. We hope this helps parents on their journey!
