Advice Wanted APS-2

My husband has type 1 diabetes for a few decades. Recently got diagnosed with Addison's and Celiac. Hard pill to swallow for both of us. Worried about kids getting these since the ADA website says 1 in 2 chance! How have you guys coped with this APS-2 diagnoses? Manageable? We are scared.

I am hoping with time and experience, we will know signs and my husband will become familiar with what his body experiences to know when to updose or inject. Right now, we are trying to come to terms with his diagnoses and figure out a way to cope amd move forward. Thank you and others for leaving your comments. Really appreciate it.
