    Erik Douds LOL from riding ponies up the street from us. Muppet sends his love. He’s a pony too now.

    This is the only Scott and Erik adventures lite. Haven't made the proper videos yet (have Southwest AND Death Valley to edit). You and PK had me laughing so hard halfway across the world.

    It's nice to see you enjoy your life to fullest! I wish our Indian T1D frnds too find joy in whatever they r doing... Btw I am Dr Ranjan, working in Novo Nordisk India ( Bangalore ). I saw few of your fellow riders wearing "Changing diabetes" suite, which is our Novo Nordisk's global motto towards diabetes free world. And Iam really happy to see you in Bangalore, India. I hope u have a amazing time in this lockdown. Tc

    Those are the Novo Nordisk riders! The company actually flies employees out to attend a few events, specifically some of those engineers are from Bangalore as well.

    I’m lucky to often be riding to new places, rarely starting and stopping in the same spot. One thing a friend taught me early in sports is to not use music because then you become dependent on it. I truly enjoy the sounds, looking around, and getting outside. On treadmills, I listen to podcasts: Tim Ferriss, Wait Wait Don’t Tell me, and Rich Roll

    Hey Erik, I'm Shreyansh, a fellow T1D from Hyderabad, India.. I just came across your channel last night.. Thank you so so much, for the positivity you have brought about in me in the past 8 hours or so.. I had one question.. In one of your videos, you talked about Loop.. Can you help me out with the hardware requirements to set it up & what would it cost approximately? As far as i know, there isn't any insurance that covers insulin pump or any CGM device in India, so cost is a huge factor for me.. I currently inject insulin & would love to have an automated solution that manages it better than me.. After all, i am not meant to be a pancreas! :D Also, being a Computer Science Engineer, i would love to contribute to the community in whatever way I can! God Bless.. 😊

    Check out diabadass.com/loop for some quick answers and then there are a lot of answers on loopdocs.org. A CGM option in India would be the Libre system + Maio Maio device. @nerdabetic has info on that. Unfortunately, insulin pumps are expensive along with all of their supplies.
