A New Diagnosis
When you first hear the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes, everything can feel confusing and hard to understand. This part is here to explain the basics — what type 1 diabetes is, how it affects the body, and why daily care matters. You don’t have to know everything right away. It’s enough to start understanding, step by step.
Welcome. You are not alone.
We know how you feel — because we’ve been there too.
Our son Vukan was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was just two years old. Today, he’s four. My brother was diagnosed with the same condition at the age of 21 and that’s 17 years of living with diabetes. Through personal experience, first as a brother, and now as a father, I’ve learned how life can change in a single moment.
That’s why my wife and I decided to create this website. Not out of obligation, but from a deep, personal need. Because we know what that moment feels like — when the world stops, when you receive the diagnosis and don’t know what to do next. When fear, questions, and uncertainty take over. When all you need is for someone to say: It’s going to be OK, and here’s how to move forward.
We’re saying that to you now. It’s going to be OK. Don’t worry.
We created this space for you, for parents, children, teens and adults. For anyone walking this path. So you can find information, answers, understanding and warmth. So you can feel that you belong to a community that knows and that cares. A community that won’t let you face this alone.
Type 1 diabetes changes life, but it does not change love, strength, or your ability to keep going.
Step by step. Day by day. Together.
Welcome to a community that understands.
You are in safe hands here.
