An interesting short read about learning from failure and using these to build the prototype for success.

Good short blog that may give confidence to PWD in steering coversations during HCP appointments. There is a frequently expressed view among T1D that they wish someone at diagnosis had told them that they would get it wrong more often than they got it right. This recognises that the situations often described as failures are a valuable part of learning how to better manage T1D.
