New year, new quarter: Which also means your next endocrinologist appoint is likely coming right around the corner. Inside this blog post, we’re breaking down three ways our clients inside of Keeping it 100 walk into every endocrinologist appointment with confidence so you can too.
Pre-bolusing can be an incredible tool, but is it the end-all-be-all? Let’s be real, life happens. We eat dinner at a restaurant and we can’t gauge when our food will be delivered.
