How a Visual Timer Helps Parents Manage Diabetes Routines
Consistency is especially important when managing blood sugar levels, and the Time Timer turns that consistency into something your child can see and understand. Instead of constant verbal reminders or power struggles, the visual countdown encourages independence and self-regulation. Whether at home, school, or on the go, the Time Timer becomes a trusted tool to support your child’s routine, making mealtime less of a battle and more of a predictable, peaceful part of the day.

Testimonials
When my son was first diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, I was so worried about keeping track of all the timing—30 minutes to eat after bolusing, 15 minutes after giving fast-acting carbs, and remembering to recheck his blood sugar 15 minutes later. It felt overwhelming. The Time Timer MOD 30 Minute timer became a huge help in managing his new normal, giving me peace of mind and helping us stay on track with everything we needed to do.
