Episode 143 - 5 ways I increased my time in range as a person with type 1 diabetes

Trying to keep glucose levels within a healthy and safe range as a person with type 1 diabetes is not easy.

In this solo episode I'm talking through five habits I've adopted over the many years I've lived with type 1 diabetes that have significantly improved my time in range, giving me more steady glucose levels which has consequently improved my quality of life. And I do not say that lightly!

The Habits Mentioned:
Precursor: Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM)

  1. Carbohydrate Counting

  2. Pre-Bolus

  3. Trying not to overcorrect hypos

  4. Not eating too close to bed

  5. Lowering high glucose alert threshold
