Ep 50: Three Factors to Consider Tracking to Support Your Blood Sugar Management (Outside Of Carbs & Insulin)

Keeping It 100 Radio: Uncensored Diabetes Conversations

When we're initially diagnosed with T1D, we're lead to believe that essentially the only three numbers that matter are the number of carbs we're eating in our meal, the number of units to take of insulin, and the number on our meter.

But when we take a holistic approach, we can see that there's so much more to the journey. We always hear, "there are 42 things that impact blood sugar" - well not for nothing, but why aren't we considering them in our every day decisions?

While I'm not here to tell you that you should be considering every single one in every single daily dosing decision, there are a few things that should be top of mind and we're breaking it all down in this weeks episode!
