Her youngest son, now 3 1/2, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 18 months, requiring Elizabeth and her husband to undergo a crash course in caring for a young child with diabetes. With her son’s diabetes now stabilized thanks to an insulin pump, Elizabeth continues her research about diabetes caregiving and is active on Tudiabetes.com, with the goal of helping make other parents’ post-diagnosis lives easier.
