I love life hacks. Simple things to help us everyday. In this video, I share my favourite diabetes life hacks with Myrthe. I had soooo much fun recording this video.

Also, I know lighting in this video is not the best but this was recorded at around 7AM in a hotel room. So sorry, it was my first ever video like this.
