    When Other People Offer to “Help Us” During A Low

    Show NotesSuper Bowl Sunday is like a scientific experiment in chaos: long stretches of sitting, random grazing, adrenaline, and a snack table that basically yells your name. In this episode, we talk about what happens when a low hits in the middle of all that and why “I’ll just grab whatever’s closest” almost always ends with a 250 two hours later.​We break down a simple three‑step game plan for game day: glucose first, snacks later on purpose, and one way to walk back to the couch without feeling like the “difficult diabetic friend.”​You’ll hear how to separate “I’m low and need medicine” from “I want to enjoy the food at this party,” plus how to measure Super Bowl success in fewer roller‑coaster swings instead of a perfectly flat line.​ What You Can Do Today Decide now what your “Super Bowl low plan” is: which glucose option you’ll use and how much you’ll take before you even look at the snack table.​ Put glucose where you’ll actually need it during the game, not buried in a bag across the room.​ Pick one win you’ll count as a success Monday morning, like “I treated every low with glucose first” or “I had fewer low‑then‑high spikes than last year.”​Your goal isn’t a perfect graph, it’s less chaos than last Super Bowl. That absolutely counts.

    How To Stop Low Blood Sugars From Running Your Day

    Show NotesIf January was about realizing how often lows hijack your day, February is about noticing how much that’s already changing. In this episode, we zoom out on the first month of the Low Blood Sugar Challenge and look at what’s actually different now: shorter lows, fewer roller‑coaster rebounds, and a little less panic every time the CGM screams at you.​We talk about why progress with lows often shows up first in the shape of your days, not just the numbers on your graph, and how to spot the quiet wins you’re probably skipping right past.​You’ll hear why “I still have lows” is not failure, how to tell if your new glucose‑first habit is working, and why this month is less about perfection and more about proving to yourself that you treat lows differently than you did in December.​ What You Can Do Today Look back at one low from this week and one from before January and compare what actually happened, not just the numbers.​Notice one way your response was even slightly less chaotic, even if the graph wasn’t perfect.​Write one sentence that starts with “Now, when I’m low, I’m the kind of person who…” and finish it with what’s already true, not what you wish were true.​Slow progress is still progress. Give yourself credit for the lows you’re handling better than before.​Resources Helpful resources and newsletter: https://yourbestt1dyear.com Sponsor Connect Blue Circle Health offers free coaching and care that fits real life for adults with type 1 diabetes.
