Episode Description

It's time to talk about summer camp! Kids may be getting ready to go, already there, or maybe you're an adult with type 1 who has fond memories or is working at camp. We're talking to the Diabetes Education and Camping Association (DECA) which serves the diabetes camp community. Lisa Gier is the executive direction of DECA – she lives with type 1, attended camp and her son who also has T1D now goes to the camp she attended as a child.
