Raise your hand if you’ve ever felt personally victimized by your quarterly endocrinologist appointment.. Working to lower your A1C is hard – and what makes it even harder is feeling like we have to do all of the things at once just to see a difference in our blood sugars.

It seems like stories of adult diagnosed with T1D are becoming more and more common. As someone who was diagnosed with T1D as a young adult, I know how much it can change the course of our lives.

Diabetes technology is powerful. Insulin pumps, CGM’s and now automode features on almost every system has made blood sugar management more convenient than ever. But what happens when we start to use the technology as a crutch?

If you’re feeling stuck or a bit burnt out in your diabetes management, this episode is for you. At some point or another, all of us go through ruts in our management, and it’s important to normalize it! Instead of trying to to tackle everything at once, I’ve found it most sustainable to build strong foundations that support us in the ever occurring micro-moments that create big impact in our diabetes management.

Ever look at your blood sugar data and wonder “WTF does this mean?” or simply avoid completely until your next endocrinologists appointment?
