I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS!

Restless days and sleepless nights, a ton of information you don’t understand being thrown at you, learning a completely new way of living, managing Rx renewals and staying on top of all the supplies, is all VERY overwhelming and exhausting.

I know what it’s like to feel completely alone in this.  To go from just a “regular mom” to a mathematician, a phlebotomist, an educator, a nutritionist, and a nurse; to worrying about your child’s life more than ever now.

I started Mom Of A Type 1 because of those reasons.  Because, for an entire year, it sucked the life out of me and I wanted to help change that for other Moms.  My goal is to give Moms back their self-worth and feel confident and in-control of this extremely complex condition.

oh, here there,

I'M SHANNON LEIGH!

I know how devastated you are.  My son was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in April of 2019, two months after his 4th birthday. At the time, I had a hard time comprehending why this happened to him – to us.  I was overrun with guilt and grief, and so very sad.  

This life-changing diagnosis is really hard to swallow.  Your life is turned upside down in an instant and juggling it all is really tough.  

Most Moms are given a crash course in the basic fundamentals of Diabetes and then left to figure the rest out on their own.  

You don’t have to do it alone!  

I have taken my years of floundering, trial & error, and my found confidence and poured my heart into making sure others have a roadmap.

And now it’s my turn to help you!

Here's Your Roadmap to Mastering
Your Child's Type 1 Diabetes

one
ACCEPTANCE

One of the hardest parts of your Child’s diagnosis is letting go of the sadness and overwhelm.  Connection with others who “get it” and understand what you’re going through is crucial. 

two
PREPAREDNESS

Everything becomes more difficult with T1D.  Health complications can escalate quickly and being ready for any situation is extremely important. Learn what those are and how to be prepared.

three
EDUCATION

The one thing you can count on with diabetes is it is ever-changing. Learn the principles of T1D management to keep your child healthy and teach them to take ownership of their diabetes as they grow.
