Summary

When Carolyn D'Argenio's son was two years old, he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Carolyn, herself diagnosed with ADHD, has had to manage the uncommon challenge of tending to her son's extensive needs alongside her ADHD. Here, Carolyn shares with us her story, some strategies, and information that hopefully will better inform others of the interplay between these two conditions while maybe even saving lives. Go to for the full show notes and links mentioned in this episode. Help Carolyn fund the purchase of a new CGM system for her son, so she can more easily monitor his blood glucose levels and better ensure his safety. Visit for a link to the crowd-funding campaign. Go to to let Eric know if you're interested in joining the next ADHD reWired Coaching and Accountability group, which is most likely starting in early May. Connect with people virtually using Eric's favorite video conferencing and connectivity platform, Zoom, by visiting – the basic service is totally free.
