The Basics
What Type 1 diabetes is Autoimmune condition, not caused by lifestyle
How it's managed daily Insulin, monitoring, balancing food/activity/stress
Devices I use Pump, CGM, glucose meter -- what they are and what beeping means

Social Stuff
Food and eating together I can eat anything, I just need to plan for it
Physical activity May need to check glucose before/during exercise, might pause for treatment
Alcohol considerations Alcohol affects blood sugar -- low symptoms can look like intoxication
Travel/outings I always need my supplies. A quick detour for management is sometimes necessary.
