Soldier Story

Several members of the dLife team had the opportunity to meet Staff Sargeant Mark Thompson yesterday when he stopped by the dLife booth at the 65th Annual ADA Sessions. Thompson, who lives with type 1 diabetes and wears an insulin pump, did a tour of duty in Iraq recently - facing some tough obstacles to his diabetes care and still maintaining an A1c of 6.5 percent. He also holds the unique distinction of being the inspiration behind the Staff Sargeant Mark Thompson teddy bear, complete with insulin pump and desert fatigues.
