When Otto was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, everything changed overnight. What should have been a normal childhood suddenly became filled with finger pokes, insulin doses, carb counting, and constant monitoring. Along with the medical information came something even heavier fear, uncertainty, and the overwhelming feeling of entering a world we knew nothing about.
We quickly realized that the day of diagnosis is one of the hardest days a family will ever face.

Otto’s Story
I was diagnosed with type one diabetes on November 22, 2022. Our life as a normal family forever changed. With a diagnosis that we knew nothing about. It was scary. My mom had a mother’s instinct feeling that there was something wrong for a couple weeks with me. I was thinning out. I was drinking a lot of water and I was going to the bathroom often . Mom made a regular check up doctors appointment for 10:15 AM on a Tuesday so I wouldn’t miss outdoor recess. At noon Well we can say I never made it to recess. The doctor rushed us to Children’s Hospital due to my glucose numbers being off the chart high on her blood glucose reader. It just read HIGH ⬆️ so she knew it was over 500 which meant nothing to my mom and I. As we get to Children’s Hospital they were waiting for us. They prick my finger again and the number reads out 588. They put us in a room they start running test and people come in and out very quickly. As I could only think about how hungry I am cause we were supposed to get lunch on the way back to school which I’m not making recess. A few doctors came in as they told us what was going on and what our next step was. Mine was eating… And that was next getting food and taking my first shots of insulin before eating. We did't realize this was our new normal. Taking a shot every time I eat and I'm a growing boy we eat allot. Learning that my pancreas was dying. We learned a lot about a pancreas and insulin the first couple hours. The first couple hours turned into a couple of days of a lot of learning what our world is changing into. It was very very scary. My family was there the whole time
Our new world… I learned real quick that my body was not making insulin that I needed to stay alive. I lost 26 pounds in just a couple of weeks. We went home from the hospital with a lot of medical equipment. From bloodsuckers what my mom calls them to finger pokers. My new medication insulin that will keep me alive and other medication in case the worst happens my blood sugar going to low and we can’t bring it back up. I could become nonresponsive. Very scary. There’s so many things we learned about my New World. And there’s so many more things we learn every day. My mom put me on a Dexcom meter to check my glucose numbers every five minutes I change out my Dexcom meter every 10 days. The number gets shared to my family phones to help watch me. My glucose numbers should range between 80 and 120. It is hard to keep it in range when I am so active, when I eat or when I’m just growing. My mom learned about an insulin pump. It really truly helped me stay in range. And the best part is I don’t have to take so many shots every day. We change out my insulin pump every 3 days. We add insulin to my pump. The pump has been pretty awesome. My Mom has been coloring on them to keep it fun. My journey of a T1D kid will keep going. One day I hope they find a cure but I know it’s not gonna happen overnight.
My family and I started All For 1 And 1 For Otto to support family with T1D and to help the scientists figure out a cure. So myself and other T1D people can live their best life without complications.
