This book is for you if …

• Your child has just been diagnosed and you do not know which way is up.
• You are doing 11pm finger pricks, 3am alarms, and 7am chaos, and you are exhausted.
• You feel responsible for every single number on the CGM.
• You want a book that does not lecture you about food.
• You are scared, and the diabetes clinic is two weeks away.
• You are looking for grandparent, school, and partner conversations you can actually use.
• You want to know what other Type 1 families have wished they knew sooner.

What’s inside

• The first 30 days – a practical, week-by-week roadmap.
• School support packs – exactly what to send, who to send it to, and what to ask for.
• The grandparent conversation, in plain English, without panic.
• Sibling impact and how to keep the other kids feeling seen.
• Mental load between two parents – sharing the work without keeping score.
• Sleep: yours, theirs, and the truth about overnight worry.
• Letting go (gradually) as your child grows up with Type 1.
• When to call the diabetes team, when to call emergency, and how to tell the difference.

Why this book is different

You’ve Got This is written by an adult who has lived with Type 1 since childhood, not by a parent of a child with Type 1. That perspective matters: it is a quiet reassurance from the other end of the road, showing you that the child you are worried about will, in fact, be okay – and offering practical guidance to help them get there.
