#17 How A Family Lives and Thrives With T1D
Monday May 25, 2020
Monday May 25, 2020
In this episode we interview the Kash Family (Connor, Elizabeth, and Bryan). Their whole world changed when Connor was diagnosed at the age of 4. There are a lot of challenges that come with having a young one with T1D. We had a great time talking with Connor, who is now 12, and his parents and hearing how they have overcome those challenges. It was also inspiring to hear their attitude and mindset in regards to owning diabetes and not letting it stop Connor from living his life.
This is a great podcast for families going through a similar situation or anyone looking for a positive uplifting conversation that will make their day brighter.
