Becoming a Fierce Advocate with Kristin Roth
One of every mama’s biggest fears is a life-altering medical diagnosis for their child.
Kristin Roth details her journey from woozy with wounds to fierce mama bear. Both of her sons have been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and she was trained by firehouse with the high stakes protocol to keep their levels regulated.
“You are essentially trying to be a human pancreas with the tools of a blood sugar meter, syringes and 2 vials of different types of insulin. The pancreas does not “sleep” so you can’t either…well, at least not straight through the night. The pressure, lack of sleep and the fact that those first few months are some of the most difficult to manage are a recipe for extreme anxiety, overwhelm, and depression. Like many situations, you may feel very supported right after the diagnosis, but as the weeks and months go on, the support and encouragement fade.”
“Now I look back and I realize I was trying to control my sons more than I was trying to control the disease.”
For any mama sacrificing and serving the unique needs of their child, I hope you heed Kristin’s advice.
For any families experiencing a new diagnosis of diabetes in their family, connect with Kristin!
