Hey everybody this is Scott I did not expect to be coming back into your podcast feed so early this week,

but something very unexpected came to my attention and I want to take a minute to let you know about it.

I received the message this afternoon from Haley Mehan.

Haley is a D-mom. Her daughter Isabelle is 17 years old. She was diagnosed

I think when she was about 13. Um, and Isabel was involved in a near fatal car accident last week.

The accident was brought on by a low blood sugar.

Investigators believe that Isabel's car may have been traveling up to 100 miles an hour.

When the car finally impacted something,

she was thrown from the vehicle

with enough force to rip her omnipod right from her body. She lost her apple watch that she used to watch her blood sugar.

The impact caused Isabelle to lose her spleen and one of her kidneys.

She has fractures in her wrist and hands that require surgery, broken teeth.

She has multiple fractures in her neck and her back. It goes without saying that

Isabel is incredibly lucky to be alive.

She has multiple serious injuries and it did not look good the day of the accident.

But in the ensuing days, she has made incredible progress.

I had a very nice short phone call with Haley this afternoon

and she told me some things that

that really touched me. I did not realize how much of this podcast means to people.

She said some very nice things about the support that she's gotten through this and the

community that she feels. she said she does not live

around many people with type 1 diabetes and so you out there listening just you know
