| 0:00.0 | Hello friends, and welcome to episode 861 of the Juice Box Podcast. |
| 0:16.8 | Today on Best of the Juice Box Podcast, we'll be revisiting episode 227, was called Diabetes |
| 0:24.8 | Concierge and aired originally on April 30th, 2019. Back in 2019, I had been approached by a |
| 0:33.4 | listener of the podcast who asked me if I had ever considered looping for my daughter, and I wanted |
| 0:38.8 | to learn more about it, and Katie D. Simone was kind enough to come on the show and explain it to me. |
| 0:47.0 | I didn't keep up with Katie after that, although I was very aware of all the hard work that she put |
| 0:52.4 | into the looping community, and then I remember one day, I think in 2020, probably spring of 2020, |
| 1:02.7 | I noticed on Katie's social media that she'd gone on this health kick and was working out and doing |
| 1:08.0 | so wonderfully in it, it made me track her progress. So I was keeping up with Katie on Instagram, |
| 1:14.4 | and then one day the pictures went from workouts to a brain scan, and that's when I learned |
| 1:22.0 | that Katie had a tumor. She shared her experience right there on Instagram, |
| 1:29.3 | and I'm looking now at her account, and that post was put up just 86 weeks ago. |
| 1:35.8 | I heard the bad news yesterday that Katie had passed away, and while I didn't know Katie |
| 1:41.2 | personally and just had this one interaction with her, she was always just a very impressive |
| 1:46.7 | person from afar. The work that she put in for loop for everybody, including her daughter who has |
| 1:54.1 | type 1 diabetes, is immeasurable. Her impact on my life, my daughter's life, and many of you, |
| 2:04.1 | it can't be properly accounted for, and so I wanted to run this episode today in honor of Katie, |
| 2:12.1 | her family, and her good work. |
| 2:18.0 | Hello and welcome to episode 227 of the Juice Box podcast. |
| 2:22.6 | Today's episode is sponsored by the Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucos Monitor |
| 2:27.3 | by Real Good Foods, and of course Dancing for Diabetes. You can go to Dexcom.com forward slash |
