Another long-term T1 here. This is one of the best posts I've read describing how hard it is.
The only thing I'd add after a couple of decades... the psychological side gets harder and harder as fatigue sets in, and you have to keep working harder and harder to beat it.
I can't imagine how difficult it would be for a parent and for the post's author. That sounds 1000x harder than facing T1 for yourself. Some of the stem cell research work being done is really exciting. And there is hope that by the time this little kid is grown up, it might be a solved problem.
In the meantime, shame on the pharmaceutical companies for their years of price gouging with insulin in the USA, a creation for which the original patent was gifted to the world for free.
