Welcome to The Urgent Lows with Palmr!
In today’s episode, Nick shares the profound and emotional journey of being a father to two children with Type 1 Diabetes. Starting with his son’s unexpected diagnosis at just two years old, Nick recounts the difficult early days—learning how to manage T1D, facing overwhelming fears, and navigating the unknown. Years later, his family was struck again when his daughter was also diagnosed with T1D, a moment that reinforced both the strength and challenges of their journey.
From daily routines and sleepless nights to finding resilience and self-care, Nick offers an honest look at the realities of parenting two children with T1D. He discusses the emotional toll, the unexpected blessings, and the importance of community support and self-care. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that despite life’s toughest challenges, strength, hope, and connection can keep us moving forward.
