Well I hope this helps and also provides a little inspiration that with a little planning people with type 1 diabetes can do whatever they want! Well apart from overdosing on chocolate!

Trying to make a decision on the next VLOG, options are:
1. Carb counting
2. Sensor performance, expectations and how MARD gets better after day one of insertion, false suspends and how to manage
3. Review of SMART GUARD and where works its best and where it does not
4. Open to ideas if you want something specific

Until next time! Oh and don't overdose on Chocolate! It's only Easter after all1
