I've neglected my writing lately, but it's with good reason. A few months ago, my wife gave birth to our beautiful baby girl and our world was turned on its head. I'm sure many new parents can testify that the first months are incredibly challenging as Mom, Dad and Baby try to work out the new norms of everyday life.
Parenting is a challenge. Unfortunately, in addition to the diapers, doctors, vaccines and insomnia, I am also trying to manage diabetes. In the first weeks, I had reached out to other Type I Diabetics (T1D) on the
JDRF LinkedIn group and
Juvenation site after I found myself staggering through the days of being a new parent. I asked them what kinds of tips and tricks parents with diabetes use to get through it all?

I collected up those comments and thought of a couple of my mine to share on my blog. The tips seem like common sense. In fact, I think most of these tips would be useful for any new parent.
