Episode 52 - Shannon's Story - Her Daughter's Journey with Type 1 Diabetes and Spy, her Service Dog

Today, I had the opportunity to chat with Shannon Boggs, a mom of three kids 10 and under, one of whom was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes after a scary medical emergency that landed her in the ICU. Shannon also shares about her daughter's service dog, Spy!

This episode includes:

- The story of how her daughter, Raelynn, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes after landing in the ICU with severely high blood sugar

- How Raelynn and her family manage her diabetes, and how Raelynn and Shannon teach other kids not to let diabetes limit them

- How Raelynn came to have Spy, her service dog, and how Spy notices and alerts when her blood sugar is high or low

- How Shannon teaches her daughter to manage her diabetes and tips to avoid kids sneaking food/progressing to disordered eating
