The Marathon We Live

Managing type 1 diabetes is an ongoing challenge-one that is especially important for teens and young adults as they transition to independent management. Diagnosed at the age of 10, Courtney Duckworth is familiar with this journey. In The Marathon We Live: Training for a Personal Best in Life with Type 1 Diabetes, Courtney recounts how lessons learned from marathon training taught her strategies for healthy living with diabetes, including: mindset and the bigger picture, continuous learning, forming goals, and resilience. Through encouragement and sharing what she has learned, Courtney hopes others will be empowered to reach new personal bests in life with type 1 diabetes.
