62 | Loss and Hope – ADHD and Type 1 Diabetes

When Carolyn D'Argenio's son was two years old, he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Carolyn, herself diagnosed with ADHD, has had to manage the uncommon challenge of tending to her son's extensive needs alongside her ADHD. Here, Carolyn shares with us her story, some strategies, and information that hopefully will better inform others of the interplay between these two conditions while  maybe even saving lives. Go to for the full show notes and links mentioned in this episode. Help Carolyn fund the purchase of a new CGM system for her son, so she can more easily monitor his blood glucose levels and better ensure his safety.  Visit  for a link to the crowd-funding campaign.
