Four years ago, this was us after the Canadian Womens' Team won the gold medal in hockey during the 2010 Olympic Games.  It was incredible being present for such a proud moment for Canadians.

Fast forward four years...T1D has sure changed this Olympic experience.  Yesterday, while the Canadian women were battling for the gold medal, against the USA, I was fretting that Carter had just had his first 'low' glucose test...3.9.  I know that might hardly count as a low, but it was the first one and it made my heart jump and all of a sudden the reality of this disease is becoming more and more real.

That being said, I'd be lying if I didn't tell you that once his glucose level came back up that I wasn't pretty excited about the game ;-).  The win was topped off nicely with the men's team beating the USA this morning in the semi-finals.  It's also very inspiring to learn about athletes like Kris Freeman, an American cross country skiier, who has Type 1 Diabetes and is competing in his fourth Olympics!
