The Power of Outdoor Adventure and Connection with T1D

In this episode, we talk to Jen Hanson. Jen is the Executive Director of Connected in Motion (CIM). CIM works to create a culture of support & engagement in diabetes self-management through peer-based experiential diabetes education, sport, and outdoor adventure. Jen combines her love for the outdoors with her mission of improving the lives of people with T1D.

Connecting with other people with T1D can be a powerful experience. When you connect with other people with T1D, you have the opportunity to feel ‘normal’ and to be around people who ‘get it.’ But the benefits of connection go far beyond having friends who support you. Jen shares how CIM fosters connections and how these connections push people with T1D to do things they may never have thought possible.
