Stacey Simms' parenting philosophy is "not perfect, but safe and happy." Does that make her the world's worst diabetes mom? Some people on social media thought so. But her stories and the lessons they impart show that diabetes laughs in the face of perfection. Raising a happy and healthy child with type 1 diabetes, as well as any siblings, requires flexibility, planning, and a great sense of humor above all else. It's a journey full of challenges, but you are not alone!

Stacey Simms hosts the award¿winning podcast "Diabetes Connections." Her son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in 2006, one month before he turned 2 years old, and Stacey started blogging about her family's experience with T1D a few weeks later. For more than a decade, she hosted "Charlotte's Morning News" on WBT¿AM, the city's top¿rated morning radio news show. Stacey has been named to Diabetes Forecast magazine's People to Know, the Charlotte Business Journal's 40 Under 40, and Mecklenburg Times' 50 Most Influential Women. She lives near Charlotte, North Carolina, with her husband, two children, and their dog, Freckles.
