After almost 20 years living with Type 1 diabetes, I've started to see a pattern that I can't unsee.

Almost every challenge I hear from clients, from listeners, from people reaching out on social media comes back to three or four specific things. And when those things click for you so many other problems start solving themselves without anyone having to try that hard.

Graham and I also get into the endocrinologist relationship and what it actually should look like. Both approaches are valid — but the question underneath both of them is the same one I want everyone listening to sit with.

There are 525,600 minutes in a year. Your doctor sees you for maybe sixty of them. What are you doing with the other 525,400 minutes you're not with them?

🔑 Key Takeaways

• The four things Ken believes fix the majority of diabetes management problems
• Why trusting your decisions is the foundation that every other habit is built on
• What a real pre-bolus looks like — and why five or seven minutes doesn't count
• What micro bolusing is and how Ken is using it differently now than he used to
• Why splitting a large dose across two smaller doses produces better outcomes
• Why bolusing for protein — especially at night — is the missing piece for most diabetics
• What the ideal endocrinologist relationship actually looks like — and why it's different for everyone
• Why there are 525,600 minutes in a year and your doctor sees you for maybe sixty of them

Episode Phrase:

There are 525,600 minutes in a year. Your doctor sees you for maybe sixty of them. What are you doing with the rest — and who is helping you? That question is the whole show. That question is everything.
