Welcome to Carb Counting Mama!
Carb Counting Mama is a resource for people in the T1D community looking to expand their knowledge and connect with others in a meaningful way.
Here you’ll find the information, resources, and tools to manage T1D confidently, find the humor in everyday situations, ways to connect with the type 1 community in real life, and more.
My goal is to help you adjust to life with diabetes in a way that feels right for your situation and lifestyle.
I’VE BEEN WHERE YOU ARE…
What if you didn’t have to go through your T1D journey alone?
In 2012, my son was diagnosed with T1D.
At the time, you couldn’t have convinced me to reach out to the T1D community.
When I finally did, it turned out to be the best thing I could have done for myself and my son. Meeting other people in the T1D community is life-changing in so many ways.
I want to share this positive experience with you!
You’re stressed. Learning everything about how to manage T1D seems impossible. More importantly, it’s taking over every aspect of your life and you feel like you’re treading water.
Your goal is to feel confident managing type 1 diabetes.
However, there are so many things to learn and figure out. You’re seeking tips and tricks, but there’s so much information out there. What’s accurate, and what’s not? You’re feeling frustrated and overwhelmed.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
You can thrive with T1D. Through connecting with others in the T1D community, attending T1 events and conferences, or finding the resources you need for your specific situation, you can take charge of your T1D and find a management style and community that will help you succeed!
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Hi, I’m Leah
My son was diagnosed with T1D in 2012. Back then, it wasn’t easy to find resources about type 1 diabetes.
That’s why I created Carb Counting Mama. This is a place where you can find resources and information about T1D. But more importantly, it’s a way to connect with others in the T1D community.
T1D can be stressful and overwhelming. My goal with this site is to educate where I can, talk about all things T1D, and provide a positive, inspiring place for other parents of T1D children.
So please, explore this website. Find something that interests you. I hope I can brighten up your day, help you out, or give you a bit of a boost in some way.
