The first six months of 2020 have brought about    a lot of uncertainty for most Americans. Individuals have been worried about their health and jobs while employers have been concerned about demand for their products and services, as well as the financial well-being of their companies. All the while, health- care providers and government officials have been ex- hausting all of the resources they have at their disposal to keep us safe and do what they can to allow for the economy to survive.

Even though he works in IT and is a self-described ‘tech guy,’ Steve went old school when managing his diabetes by putting a drop of blood on a test strip to find out his current blood sugar levels. Most Type 1 diabetics have to go through this process around 10 times a day. “When I was working in the office, I would keep a tester and strips in my cube and would always make time for that one minute it would take me to test,” says Steve. “I would also keep something to eat depending if the strip reading told me that my levels were high or low.” Things changed for Steve two years ago when he attended an Emerging Leaders Council meeting hosted by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund. At ELC, people living with Type 1 diabetes and their friends and families get together to discuss their experiences with new technology that is used to manage Type 1 diabetes.
