Ever feel like you’re doing everything right with your diabetes - carb counting, pre-bolusing, measuring your food, working out, AND your blood sugars still won’t cooperate?! It’s one of the most frustrating parts of living with Type 1 diabetes. You’re putting in the effort. You’re checking all the boxes. And yet the numbers just aren’t reflecting it.
In this episode of the Your Diabetes Insider Podcast, I break down why your blood sugar control might feel stuck even when you’re “doing everything right.” I’ve lived with Type 1 diabetes for over 20 years, and I’ve seen this pattern over and over - both in my own life and with the people I work with. There are often hidden factors at play that you don’t even realize are affecting your numbers.
Most importantly, I share how to build in a little
cushion with your A1C and time in range so when life gets chaotic
(because it will), your numbers don’t completely spiral. There’s no
prize for perfect blood sugars - you’re managing diabetes alongside
real life. The goal is sustainability, not
perfection.
