- A Must Listen
As a parent of a child with Type 1 Diabetes, this is so shocking to me. What these people have done is beyond negligence . Managing T1D requires vigilance, education, and compassion. To see such blatant disregard for Elizabeth’s safety and medical care is so disturbing. Thank you for bringing going this case to light, people need to be educated!
