Wins & Fails
Jessie's Win: Jessie's win this week is going to the zoo and avoiding going low or high, thanks to her CGM!
Colleen's Fail: My sensor cut out during the first hike post-smoke in Missoula. It didn't come back until I finished an hour later. Yay for winging it!
Hack or Tip of the Week
Practice explaining diabetes to the age level of the kid you're talking to. Answer questions as honestly as you can, but it's okay to not use big medical words that may confuse them.
