Overview
- Catherine Giudici disclosed Tuesday that their 8-year-old son Isaiah was admitted to a Children’s Hospital and diagnosed with type 1 diabetes after concerning test results.
- Their pediatrician noticed an 11-pound weight loss and unusually high thirst and urination at Isaiah’s annual visit, ran lab tests, and referred the family to the emergency room.
- Isaiah spent about four days in the hospital receiving multiple injections while nurses and doctors taught the parents how to manage insulin dosing and blood-glucose monitoring.
- Giudici asked for prayers as the family adjusts to a new routine and received supportive messages from fellow Bachelor Nation alumni and other parents who shared practical advice.
- Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition that requires ongoing insulin therapy and regular glucose checks, and early detection at routine pediatric visits can prevent more severe complications.
