Series on Netflix about tween girls setting up a babysitting club. One of the characters has T1D which she initially hides from her new friends (if you know what to look for there are hints in the first 2 episodes). She uses a pump (Medtronic 670G) which she ends up bedazzling and wears proudly. I think she may also have a CGM but it’s not mentioned. It’s a good episode (episode 3) about family and friends understanding it and validates that Sophie has had to become more mature and responsible because of taking care of her diabetes. I don’t know if they revisit it later in the series too. It’s not perfect on explaining it and showing it accurately but it’s close enough.
 
Ive seen this mentioned on social media recently - great for youngsters to have representation on mainstream TV shows!
 
It’s such a lovely episode.
 
@Thebearcametoo I read the books when I was about her age so we've both loved watching it - her because of the diabetes link; me reliving my childhood. We're now on episode four again having watched the whole series once!
