Barbara Saemann joins the podcast from Minnesota, where she has moved recently to be with her husband after growing up in Germany. 

We talk about the process of working up the courage to come to America and study abroad in a new culture, the challenges of planning 6 months ahead with Diabetes supplies, the differences between Diabetes coverage in Germany and the United States, and the things Barbara learned about herself along the way. 

Barbara is very active in the T1d community, and writes about her experiences on Sweethearts4diabetes.com. You can follow Barbara on Instagram as well.
