I chose to become a Testing Limits Captain because I wished to be more involved in Insulindependence's vision of revolutionizing diabetes management by encouraging active living. In high school, I attended two-week long bicycling/camping trips for teens with diabetes and swam on the women's swim team. I've moved forward to running more recently, and after my first half-ironman triathlon in 2009, I completed my first full marathon in 2010. In 2011-2012, I'm looking forward to serving as the Great Lakes Testing Limits Captain and meeting/encouraging others with diabetes to manage diabetes through active living!
