Wins & Fails
Jessie’s Win: Jessie met with the nurse practitioner at her new adult endocrinologist’s office before moving to college!
Colleen’s Fail: The default Tandem pump case kept scraping against the charger port cover, damaging it. So I bought a new case from Type 1 Tactical.
Tip of the Week
Check in with your friends when talking about diabetes. Sometimes people need to adjust to that type of conversation. It’s also okay not to answer questions you’re not comfortable answering.
