I'm a mom raising a child with Type 1 Diabetes, and my world shifted in 2022 when my oldest was diagnosed at only 3 years old. What followed was a steep and emotional learning curve marked by fear, constant decision making, interrupted sleep, and the quiet weight of always being on. Like so many parents, I quickly realized that diabetes does not just affect our children, it reshapes family rhythms, relationships, and the way we see ourselves as caregivers. RT1 was born directly from our family’s lived experience and the deep need for connection with other parents who truly understand this life. I created RT1 to be a soft place to land, where honesty is welcomed and no one has to pretend they are holding it all together. I believe deeply in showing up well for our kids while also honoring our own needs for rest, support, and compassion. My hope is that through shared stories, conversation, and community, RT1 reminds parents they are seen, capable, and never alone on this journey.

Hi, I’m Aubrie! In 2023, when my 3 year old was diagnosed, Type 1 Diabetes didn’t just enter our lives… it rewrote them. It changed how we sleep, how we travel, how we plan meals, how we measure time. It introduced new language into our everyday conversations and asked our family to grow in ways we never expected. Somewhere between learning carb counts and navigating fear at 2 a.m., I realized something: parents raising kids with T1D need more than information. We need each other. Raising Type 1 was built from that realization.
This space isn’t about perfection or perfectly managed numbers. It’s about the real, layered experience of parenting a child with a chronic illness- the courage, the exhaustion, the humor, the resilience, the quiet grief, and the fierce love that runs underneath it all. I care deeply about helping parents feel steady in a life that often feels anything but. About creating conversations that are honest and practical. About reminding you that taking care of yourself is not selfish… it’s necessary.
If you’re here, I hope you feel understood without having to explain every detail. I hope you find both support and strength. And most of all, I hope you know that while this journey is demanding, you are more capable than you think, and you are never walking it alone.
