Welcome to Brave Little Pancreas

Hi there, and welcome to Brave Little Pancreas!

This space was created with one goal in mind: to support kids, parents, teachers, and caregivers navigating life with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). Whether your child was just diagnosed, you’re a teacher learning how to support a student, or you’re a caregiver helping a loved one, you’ll find resources here designed to make life a little easier—and a lot more hopeful.

Why Brave Little Pancreas?

When my own child was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, I quickly realized how overwhelming and confusing this journey can feel. Between learning new medical terms, adjusting daily routines, and figuring out how to advocate for my diabetic, it’s a lot to carry.

That’s why Brave Little Pancreas was born: to provide simple, practical, and encouraging resources that empower families and caregivers. Our mission is to make sure no one feels alone while learning to manage this lifelong condition.

What You’ll Find Here

✨ Educational Resources – Easy-to-understand guides, glossaries, and checklists to help you learn the essentials of T1D.
✨ Teacher & Caregiver Tools – Classroom guides, printable care plans, and communication tips so kids can thrive at school.
✨ Parent Support – Real-world strategies, daily care routines, and encouragement for families navigating T1D at home.
✨ Inspiration & Community – Stories, tips, and resources to remind you that T1D doesn’t have to hold your child—or your family—back.
