Graduation and Our Story.
For many students, it's a moment full of anticipation, tension, and stress, but for the mother of two sons with diabetes, this period was something more. It was a test of endurance, organization, and technological rescue, where the main stars were her sons, the graduates, and of course – the Dexcom ONE+.
High school is over, here we are!
The excitement about finishing school took over the whole house, and to ensure that the graduates could fully focus on their exams, their reliable ally was there – the Dexcom ONE+ continuous glucose monitoring sensor. This little technological wizard was there when it was needed most, saving the language exam and, even more, ensuring the whole story went smoothly without any unwanted surprises.
Mom prepared everything like a nerd – from instructions to school permits. "I like to be sure we're ready for every scenario," she admits with a smile. "Better safe than sorry, right?" Luckily, everything was under control, and hypo incidents were successfully avoided thanks to quick action.
Murphy’s Law? No, just a 30-minute break!
However, as in every story, not everything went according to plan. Exactly 45 minutes before the important final exam, the sensor on Danijel’s arm malfunctioned. Panic? No, because there was Dexcom ONE+, which quickly warmed up and was ready in just 30 minutes. Glucose measured, the exam survived – mission accomplished.

The Big Day – Graduation Results!
On the day the results were released, there was some nervousness, even though the boys, seemingly calm, were building a gazebo with their dad. But as noon approached, tension grew, even with them. "Mom, why are you stressing out, there's nothing more we can change." said Dominik as they quietly counted down the minutes.
12:01 PM – Danijel checks the results first – he passed, and got into all the universities he wanted. The celebration begins!
But where is Dominik? He disappeared into the bathroom, not answering. Mom, on edge, imagined the worst, until he finally came out. "My pump fell into the water," he said angrily. Ah, another unexpected moment, but it was quickly solved with rice 🙂 When he finally checked his results, another celebration followed – Dominik passed the graduation and got into every university he could have wanted!

Sensors on their arms, safety in their hearts
Now, as the boys prepared for their new adventures – one in another city, and the other at a university 40 minutes away by car – mom stays at home, proud and a bit anxious. But with one big difference: Dexcom ONE+ and OmniPod are keeping an eye on her little ones, and she watches over them quietly via the app. Supplies of chocolates and drinks are ready, sensors are set, and mom? Mom is, as always, the "chaos coordinator," always there, ready to help if needed.
Good luck, my sweet boys, go forward to new victories! Mom, though in the shadows, is always with you.
