    Why Your Mystery Blood Sugars Might Be a Sleep Problem

    SHOW NOTES: If you've ever woken up to a blood sugar that makes no sense -- went to bed at a perfect number, did everything right, and still saw a confusing morning high -- this episode is for you. Neil Greathouse, who has lived with type 1 diabetes since February 14, 1992, kicks off the 8-week While You Were Sleeping Challenge by asking one question: what was happening the night before your worst blood sugar day last month? For 34 years, Neil blamed the pump site, the insulin, the food, the stress -- pretty much everything except the variable that was right there the whole time. This is the episode that puts sleep on the T1D checklist for good. This is Week 1 of the While You Were Sleeping Challenge. Whether you're starting here or catching up, you're not behind. Over 1,200 people are doing this challenge with you. In this episode: Why mystery blood sugars might have a cause you've never consideredThe full list of things Neil has personally blamed for blood sugars that didn't make sense (it's a long list)Why this 8-week sleep challenge is, in fact, diabetes contentHow to start the simplest data-collection habit of the whole challengeThis Week's Challenge: Write down how many hours you sleep each night. If you want to add one layer, note your fasting blood sugar the next morning. Don't change anything yet. Just notice.

    The Mental Side of T1D that Nobody's Treating // Allison Nimlos, The Diabetic Therapist

    79% of people with T1D experience shame related to their diabetes. Not occasionally. As part of their daily lived experience. Today's guest built an entire conference around that statistic. Allison Nimlos is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES), and has been living with Type 1 Diabetes for 32 years. She knows this disease from the inside of a therapy room and from the inside of her own body. We talk about what diabetes distress actually looks like (and why it's not the same as burnout), why your A1C being good doesn't mean you're OK, and what it costs people to be stuck between an endo who doesn't ask how they're doing and a therapist who doesn't know what an A1C is. Plus, True or False, the Diabetes Confession Booth, and Allison goes head-to-head with the Fastest 5 Minutes of Your Life.  The Diabetes + Mental Health Conference is May 1-2. That's next week. Virtual. $40 general admission. Register at dmhconference.com.
