Wins & Fails

Jessie's Win: She got through her first semester of college! Now it's just about waiting for the final grades.

Colleen's Fail: BG spiked consistently with having so-called “low carb” white chocolate hazelnut spread. Keto rated but whatever they used affects me just like sugar does. So the third time (after I figured out the pattern) I heavily pre-bolused.

Tip of the Week

Jessie's low-key tip this week is about plants, not T1D... If you're a plant parent living in a cold climate, try watering with lukewarm water instead of hot or cold.
