This a good article. Pretty much sums up everything.
I developed type 1 two years ago as an adult, over 40. It's difficult enough for me, as a former software engineer who has always been decent at doing math in my head. I practically die every other week or so. Just tonight I walked to a bar and barely made it back because I didn't bring enough extra Doritos. Having an infant or toddler with t1 must be nuts. In addition to all the factors mentioned here, I read a medical article a while back which asserted that no two doses of insulin affect someone exactly the same. That's my experience too. Struggles with the medical/insurance system make it even more difficult, whether it's the total mess of the US or systems like the British NHS. The entire thing is basically insane.
