Today, I sit down with Leanne Krieger, who has lived with Type 1 Diabetes for over 40 years and recently joined us in the Tetons for her very first multi-day backpacking trip. We dive into her mindset on stepping outside your comfort zone and why embracing new environments is essential for T1D management. As Leanne demonstrates, blood sugar control isn't just about staying in range—it's about giving yourself the freedom to adventure and live fully. Managing her diabetes in the rugged backcountry, Leanne met every challenge head-on and crushed her goals.
