EP 75: Empowered Voices with Val: Fostering Connections & Community in the Outdoors

Keeping It 100 Radio: Uncensored Diabetes Conversations

"Breathing fresh air into diabetes education," how good does this sound? This is exactly what the Canadian charity and diabetes education group, Connected in Motion, is doing.

They are people with Type 1 diabetes who share a vision to create a culture of support & engagement in diabetes self-management through peer-based experiential diabetes education, sport, and outdoor adventure.

In this episode, Julie De Vos from Connected in Motion, tells us about her diabetes journey and how her passion for travel and the outdoors have come together to play a role in how she serves and supports the T1D community today.

Julie shares all about the magic of spending a weekend outdoors with a group of supportive T1Ds, upcoming trip opportunities and how to get connected with the Connected in Motion community where ever you are in the world!
