Diabetics Doing Things: The Drip
December 2020
What’s up fam!
Hope this email finds you safe and well, but if it finds you at the end of your rope with the world burning down around you, that’s ok too :) you got this!
Just following up on a few things from last month:
I announced my partnership with Medtronic Diabetes in this Video - I’m extremely excited to work with the MDT team to continue to impact the lives of people living with Diabetes in a positive way.
The Hangry Woman did an incredible Holiday Themed Menu for Thanksgiving, but it can also be applied to the December Holidays as well! Available HERE!
I just started my new Medtronic 770g so get ready for SCREENSHOTS of my blood sugars on Instagram!!! (I’m so excited lol)
As you read this, we are in production of the most important work we’ve ever done on Diabetics Doing Things. And I am going to be spending most of my holiday break working on it. I can’t wait to share it with you, it’s gonna be so epic.
We’re closing out another year, and what a year it has been. By the time I write you here again, we’ll be celebrating 17 years of living with Diabetes, a burden which only grows lighter by sharing it with you and the greater Diabetes community.
Thank you for continuing to support me and Diabetics Doing Things, and a Happy Holidays to you and yours
