Rachel Heckerman, from our Tools of Type Ones series in the very early days of the pod, is BACK! Rachel is a videographer, editor, writer, designer, photographer, and overall cool person. She produced a short film called Under the Ice of Antartica. It’s beautiful and you should check it out!

In this episode we get into:

• How she got a job on a station in Antartica

• The LONG journey to Antartica

• Planning ahead and packing for diabetic emergencies

• What living in Antartica is like

• Adjusting to being in a new timezone with Diabetes

• Having a Dia-buddy, even in Antartica

• Enjoying the moment while being actively aware of your diabetes and not letting Diabetes stop you

• Diabetes tech on a freezing tundra
