Most people give up on their New Year's resolutions by the 31st of Jan. As type 1 diabetics, we can't afford that luxury! To continue January's goal-setting theme (and make sure we set goals we can actually stick to) we spoke to behavioral strategist Tereeza Ballantine about:

• Her ultimate goal-setting strategy.
• How to deal with the negative voice in your head. 
• The difference between a growth mindset and a fixed mindset.
•  Cait's action plan to reverse her background retinopathy.

PLUS, we had a chat about how Tracy managed her diabetes while bikepacking around Zimbabwe (Spoiler. It involves a trillion billion glucose sweets).
