Type One Outdoors

Elusive creatures, these type ones!

I know type ones can be found in the outdoors, but where are they?

I know there are others, but how do we find them?

The clues are out there.

You might notice a CGM transmitter on the arm, Dexcoms with elaborate and colorful adhesive tapes. Large, black, bulbous Eversense transmitters make a deltoid appearance on tank-top summer days.

From time to time, on rare encounters the pump tubing flapping in the wind, just tempting nearby manzanita bushes for a classic hook-n-catch scene.

there’s a few clues to indicate there’s an athletic looking type one out there in the remote wilderness, but if you’re not looking for it, you just might miss it.

Remember the old medic alert bracelets? They’re still around, but more and more tattoos are replacing those.

Diabetes Online Community

I’m trying to follow and connect with as many outdoors-driven type ones as I can on social platforms, and there’s few!, yep there’s a few. A small number in this very small sample of the population.

Managing diabetes in remote, outdoor environments is a real craft, and this subject is not a standard topic of discussion upon diagnosis. Part of the reason for me to make this website is to provide a little insight into the subject, specifically for type ones, and folks helping type ones.

On top of all the prep, packing, maintenance, manifest and details that naturally go into outdoor expeditions. As a type one, I need to be in good physical condition and know how to treat & resolve T1D complications before heading out, and be well prepared to deal with those issues while out there.

Believe it or not, there’s a type one in this picture.

Elusive creatures aren’t they?
