🎬 My professional accomplishment I’m most proud of this year is winning the 2025 Atlanta Press Club Award of Excellence in TV Reporting for my Merritt Street Media segment, “Choosing Between Your Life-Saving Insulin or Rent,” highlighting the financial barriers many Americans face in accessing essential insulin. Insulin should not be political, it should be affordable and easily accessible.

🩸 I love the Dexcom follow me app and the ones on other application’s. I sat down after getting some food at an event and looked at my husband’s phone and he was watching my blood sugar. He knows I’m guessing carbs right now and we’ve been walking a bunch, so he keeps an eye on me. I am so thankful for him. Do you use a follow me app?

🩸 My glucose meter read 21. Yes, 21. I asked the person next to me at pickleball, “Is this real life?” I genuinely wondered if I had passed out and was dreaming.

There’s a lot of discussion right now about CGM inaccuracy. But in this case, the issue wasn’t my CGM — it was a faulty meter or test strips. *No, I do not keep test strips in extreme weather conditions.

My CGM showed 85 with a downward arrow, which is why I did a fingerstick. I pricked three more times after that and was thrilled to find I had not passed out.
