I've lived with type one diabetes for 64 years, since the age of two.

I'm convinced that we need to develop better education ideas for people: I've got some ideas that I'd like to deveop, looking for others with similar interest. Also happy to share the books and videos I've done, though some of the older books need to be upgraded to include some of the newer hardware as well as newer features.
