Melissa reflects on College Diabetes Week, what it means to chapter members of CDN, how the community gets involved, and creative ways to engage others.

Calling all cool girls! This line of comfortable and chic women’s wear took our team to the next level. Our runners received custom training kits from Alala that made tackling those miles a breeze. The super-soft breakers tee is one of our favorite race day garments this year. It's flowy, flattering, and perfect for hiding devices.

Because who doesn’t want to be sporty and stylish? Runners relish the chance to train and tabulate relevant stats, which is something that was definitely taken into consideration when this watch was made. The Steel HR Sport features a heart rate monitor, GPS capabilities, and stays charged for a whopping 25 days.

Keeping insulin at the right temperature is so important for those living with T1D! Unfortunately it's not always easy to tell what the temp is, especially when on the go. That’s what makes this little device so helpful and a diabetes kit staple. Our runners were constantly moving what with training and racing through the five boroughs of NYC, and felt more at ease being able to access real-time insulin temps on their phones via Bluetooth.

Diabetes management made easier? Sign us up. One Drop offers an award-winning app, a test strip subscription service, personal coaching and more. Our runners received these kick-butt kits but One Drop also offers customizable plans that can be tailored to fit any needs. This kit comes with a Bluetooth glucose meter, lancing device, test strips, optional lancets, and a carry case.

Inspiration and innovation — a combination that can’t be messed with, especially when it comes to workout gear. Our runners felt fully equipped with their state of the art performance swift shorts that Rhone offers in various lengths according to personal preference.
