Having an emergency glucagon kit available can be lifesaving.

It's important to make sure anyone living with you know when and how to administer glucagon during a severe low blood sugar emergency.

Having a backup plan for insulin administration is important for managing diabetes and avoiding interruptions in your care.

Most try to consider keeping backup diabetes supplies on hand, such as an extra insulin pump, insulin vials and syringes, or backup insulin pens.

A Closed-Loop / Automated Insulin Delivery System uses glucose readings from your CGM to adjust the amount of basal, or background, insulin delivered by your insulin pump.

A hybrid closed-loop system continuously monitors and adjust insulin delivery automatically.

An insulin pump is a wearable medical device that delivers insulin throughout the day to help manage blood glucose levels in people with diabetes.

Insulin pumps can be connected to the body using a tube or worn directly on the skin (tubeless pump).

Learn about Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM’s) and my personal experience using one.

A continuous glucose monitor (CGM) is a wearable device that measures glucose levels in real time, typically every few minutes.

The CGM sensor sends glucose readings to a smartphone app, receiver or insulin pump, reducing the need for frequent finger-sticks.

There is a lot of info in this one episode!

Please check it out and learn a bit more about the different insulins a diabetic can use.

Insulin can be taken as a liquid by injection or by using an insulin pump or by being inhaled in powder form.

Fast acting insulin is taken to cover rising blood glucose levels, usually from meals. 
Slow acting insulin works over a 24 hr period.

Carbohydrates or carbs are what fuels the body. Your body breaks down carbs into glucose or sugar.

Type 1 diabetics use what's known as an insulin-to-carb ratioto to calculate how much insulin they should take for the amount of carbs they will eat.

Check out the full episode below where I touch on glucose levels and a1c tests.

[My type of Type 1 Podcast @MyTypeofType1]

For a diabetic both your blood glucose and your a1c are very important numbers.

Your blood glucose gives a more current reading on the amount of sugar in your blood, while your A1C gives an overall amount for the past 3 months.

A diabetic "honeymoon" is a brief period of time where your body is still producing insulin.

The honeymoon period can be as short as a week or as long as a year.

The pancreas will eventually be unable to make enough insulin.

Knowing the symptoms that lead to developing Type 1 diabetes is important. Early diagnosis is key to better management and a healthy life.

It’s also worthy to note some may not experience any symptoms at all.
