Focus Cards

Focus Cards represent real diabetes challenges.

Each has a category and a Power Score.

To beat one, play Aspect Cards of the same category adding up to it’s score.

​

Aspect Cards

Aspect Cards show skills, supports, and strategies.

They are colour-coded by category to match Focus Cards.
