Episode Description

In this episode, Avery’s parents, Ethan and Robyn, share their perspective on sending their daughter to diabetes summer camp and the impact it had on their entire family. They open up about watching Avery gain confidence and independence in her diabetes management, the importance of finding a community that truly understands life with T1D, and what camp gave them as parents, too. They also discuss mental health, navigating food and blood sugars, and learning to give Avery more freedom as she grows.
