LEGO has recently introduced sets in their Friends line with minifigs that celebrate diversity. These include an amputee and now a girl named Hanna living with type 1 diabetes. Hanna has a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) on her arm and one of the set accessories is a blood glucose monitor.
I wish sets like this had been available when my T1D kiddo was younger!
The BG monitor appears to display mmol/L, used in Europe and broadly, instead of the mg/dl measurement numbers used in the US. LEGO is based in Denmark. A blood sugar of 11.3 mmol/L is approximately 200 mg/dl. I appreciate that the graph is up and down, which can be very typical, especially in active kids.
