I hope all of you had a good labor day weekend. Our little family finally had time weekend away. I was reminded of the many opportunities I have to educate about Diabetes, on a daily basis.
We were hanging out waiting for Jared to bring our food, and a lady saw my daughter's monitor. She immediate came over and asked me about it. he seems immediately. I explained that it is a continuous glucose monitor (cgm). She called an older gentleman that was standing a few feet away from her. I don't know how close their relationship was, but she immediately wanted him to come and see the cgm. It turned out that one of his daughters has type 2 diabetes. Apparently she is having issues with her levels.
It feels great to be able to talk about our experience and to see that we were sharing information with people who will definitely benefit from it. The greatest part was watching my little 4 year old show off her monitor happily, feeling normal and proud of who she is. That nanosecond felt like an olympic gold for me!
Here is how you insert a cgm...in pics. I talk too much so my videos turn out tooooo long. :)
