If you use a CGM device app, do you consistently enter event data for insulin, carbs, exercise, etc...? If you do, then what percent of the time: greater than 50% or less than 50%?

Good personal hygiene typically includes hand washing, brushing/flossing teeth, bathing, etc. What self care practices do you equate as personal diabetes “hygiene” acts which improve overall metabolic wellbeing? @SugarSurfing

Computer algorithms are not able to as of yet replicate this kind of decision making.

I’m looking forward to sharing this and more tips at upcoming 2020 Sugar Surfing workshops in Pennsylvania, Texas, Florida and South Dakota. For details go to https://t.co/CYkZ4xFkJ1

Self-esteem is best reflected in our words and deeds, not our A1C. @SugarSurfing @StephenPonderMD

Believing that blood sugar levels are “good” or “bad” makes sense only if you believe a person can ‘will’ it to be any level they choose and keep it there. #sugarsurfing

Approach a life with diabetes with no excuses and manage it with no regrets

[Sugar Surfing @SugarSurfing]

Sugar Surfing is based on managing situations as they are happening. Blood sugar values are only part of this. The CGM trend “is your friend”. Learn to identify significant BG trends and respond promptly. This in time leads to mastery. @SugarSurfing https://t.co/CYkZ4xFkJ1

On an average day , how many times a day do you casually or intentionally ‘glance’ at your CGM trend line, whether or not any tangible action with food, insulin or exercise is taken? @SugarSurfing
