Alaska Tour Wrapup, part 2
Some of you will no doubt be interested in the diabetes-related statistics from my bicycle tour to Alaska. I’m afraid I lost most of that data when my OmniPod PDM (Personal Diabetes Manager) started failing as I was riding through Washington. On August 13, I returned it to the manufacturer in exchange for a new PDM. As a result, I only have data as far back as August 13.

??? (I have a doctor appointment in early September) |
If there’s additional data you’re interested in, let me know. I’m not sure I’ll have the data, but if I do, I’ll be happy to share it with you.
