What background knowledge on T1D did you have before working with students with T1D?

Read a Q&A with Jeanette and JDRF intern Olivia Louderman. They ate what was provided for them, and I checked blood glucose levels one hour after eating. Now, I help three students who all manage their diabetes differently. Whether it be texting parents or giving insulin shots, the difference of managing T1D versus T2D took a lot of getting used to.
