Woke up to a #Dexcom alarm, alerting me that my son with #type1diabetes was having #hypoglycemia. Life-saving juice given and unable to get back to sleep, I went on FB and saw that it was the 1 year anniversary of an acquaintance’s child’s death from #diabetes complications. 1/4

She described how when she learned her daughter was gone, she felt her heart shatter in a million pieces, the wind get knocked out of her, and watched the world go dark. 2/4

Five years ago, I watched as another mom I know went through her own ravaging grief after her son died in his sleep from complications of his #T1D. 3/4

We have technology that can help prevent these kinds of deaths by alerting people when their loved ones are in peril—but many can’t afford it. We need #Pharmacare to cover #CGMs—with alarms—and we need them now. @adriandix #bcpoli #AccessForAll #DiabetesAwarenessMonth 4/4
