Voices of Diabetes

Hello, my name is Kris and I have had type 1 diabetes for 28 years. I’ve fortunately been in relatively good control for most of my diabetic life. One thing that has always helped my diabetes and me was being active, but this can be challenging.

This past summer I trained to climb Mt. Whitney. I went on four training climbs and in August I successfully climbed Mt. Whitney.

While I climbed, I kept track of my blood glucose values, my insulin delivered, my carbohydrate intake, miles hiked and altitude gained/lost.
