In this episode, Dr. Steve Edelman and Dr. Jeremy Pettus share the “starter kit” they wish every newly diagnosed person and family had from the very beginning . Both diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 15, Steve and Jeremy reflect on what has changed since their own diagnoses and walk through the practical advice, emotional reassurance, and foundational education that can make this transition a little less overwhelming.

They also talk about the honeymoon phase, how to keep doing the things you love, why support systems matter, how to find the right provider, and what newly diagnosed families should know about clinical trials and preserving beta cell function.
