Why I Started Glucose Guy - A T1D Dad's Diagnosis Story

Why did I start Glucose Guy?
Because when my son was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, our entire world changed overnight. Suddenly we were learning insulin, blood sugars, carb counts, CGMs, pumps — all at once — and honestly… it was overwhelming.

If we were struggling to make sense of all this, I knew other families were too.

So I created Glucose Guy — a place where diabetes finally feels understandable.
I’m not a doctor. I’m a T1D dad learning in real time, just like so many of you. My goal is to break down the complicated parts of diabetes into simple, practical videos anyone can follow.

💙 Whether you’re a parent, a caregiver, or someone living with diabetes… you’re not alone.
We’re learning together — one blood sugar at a time.
