Show Notes
If 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.​
