Like I'm really sensitive to carbs if I eat.

sandwich for lunch, it's going to really spike my blood sugar.

It is also really helpful for me to take walks after meals, like just for 10 or 15 minutes.

And I can actually see the impact of that immediately on like the graph that's attached to my phone.

And the other really critical thing that it told me was that I really just wasn't exercising enough.

And so it's prompted me to exercise more.

And I've also seen that that's made a big difference in my body's ability to, you know, deal with blood sugar.

Thank you.

In curling, players slide heavy stones over a sheet of ice.

The goal is to reach a target on the other end and to keep their opponent's stones off.

Cynthia Benning, a superfan from Albuquerque, New Mexico, says the game is like chess on ice.

The team is always thinking like two, three moves ahead, just like you do in chess.

Benning was in the stands with a sign that said curling is life and a cowbell she rang for good shots.

Her favorite team didn't make it to the finals, but she got what she came for, hours and hours of high-level curling.

The winning team, captained by 24-year-old Danny Casper, heads to an Olympic qualifying event in Canada next month.
