My Story:
I help direct a summer camp with one week that focuses on Type 1 Diabetic youth. During this time the kids numbers fluctuate (so do mine) because of excitement, nerves for a new activity, and endless hours of fun activity. To get back into the fun, we rely on Transcend Glucose Gels to get them back in the move quickly and effectively!
