Living with Type 1 diabetes doesn’t pause for romance. It shows up on first dates, during late-night conversations, on honeymoons, and sometimes even in arguments over snacks. But while it brings its own challenges, it can also deepen communication, empathy, and trust in ways few other things can. We uncover Shubhi and Siddhanth's love story of dating for 7 years and then marriage and cover difficult and fun questions.

Have you ever craved to be normal as a T1D? I’m 23, and when I was first diagnosed at the age of 9 my mom’s first thought was if I’ll be able to do the normal things, like going one school trips alone, going to a hostel for undergrad, party like a teenager, play different sports, participate in school and college events, hanging out and doing projects late night or something as basic as getting a tattoo. Because believe it or not, when you get diagnose the doctor first gives you a list of things you cannot do and it seems like the end of life. I’m graduating this year andi here I’m sharing 3 ways to cope with this feeling of being normal with type 1 diabetes growing up, whether you are a caregiver or a young type 1 diabetic yourself.
