3 virtues of the well managed
Hang in there Donrsquot give up
ldquoYou can delegate authority but you canrsquot delegate responsibilityrdquo
Do 2 RNrsquos = 1 kid

Ok Ok to me
Concrete thinkers canrsquothellip
1 Consider a hypothesis2 Consider multiple possibilities
in a scenario3 Systematically solve a problem4 Use combinatorial logic
Lasts until 15-17 years of age25 of adults are concrete thinkers
You CAN influence how long it lasts
diabetes treatment preserves INTERNALLY made insulin
Five things to remember about T1D1) Diabetes care isnrsquot a contest Itrsquos overrun with numbers Donrsquot judge2) Let the remaining guilt (if any) go NO one is perfect3) Diabetes care is not an action it is a SKILL SET Therefore it can be
practiced and improved upon4) Control is the end result of your decisions and choices This applies to
minute to minute control as well as long term control5) NO health care provider manages anyonersquos diabetes They never can
and they never will Itrsquos a self managed condition
Five practical advanced diabetes care tips
1) Better synchronize your insulin and your meals2) Check blood sugars 2-3 hours after meals3) Correct any out of range sugar you discover (ldquotreat to targetrdquo)
4) Work to get morning blood sugars into target range (F-F-F)5) Reviewanalyze your blood sugars at least weekly
Diabetes care is best approached 1 day at a time

Principles of Sugar Surfing1 A CGM is no better or
worse than the person responding to it
2 If you can measure it you can predict it
3 Flux and drift happenhellip manipulate them
4 Keep your eye on your line5 The trend is your friend6 Learn lag limits be patient
7 Zero in on your zone8 Master micro-dosing9 Factor in glycemic inertia
and insulin momentum10 Donrsquot let ldquogood enoughrdquo
be the enemy11 Calibrate carefully12 Pre-empt when you can
Turnaround Time glycemic inertiaCorrections may need to be adjusted 10-20 to compensate
Goal Try to stay between the lines
As your skills improve lower the glucose for the upper alert
Cal-i-bra-tion (noun ˌka-lə-ˈbrā-shən)bull Comparing the sensor to an
accepted ldquostandardrdquo valuebull The accepted ldquostandardrdquo value is
a fingerstick BG levelbull So the sensor itself can be no
more accurate than the BG meter itrsquos compared tohellipor how well the BG meter was used
Calibration tips
bull The first sensor day can be erratic as it ldquosettles inrdquo
bull Donrsquot over calibratebull Try to calibrate on a steady trend bull Try to calibrate when in your
target range
CGM calibration tiphellip

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

The bodyrsquos defenses against low blood sugar

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)
bull A CGM device can serve as a ldquobiofeedbackrdquo device of sorts in adults willing to develop the ability over time

Concrete thinkers canrsquothellip
1 Consider a hypothesis2 Consider multiple possibilities
in a scenario3 Systematically solve a problem4 Use combinatorial logic
Lasts until 15-17 years of age25 of adults are concrete thinkers
You CAN influence how long it lasts
diabetes treatment preserves INTERNALLY made insulin
Five things to remember about T1D1) Diabetes care isnrsquot a contest Itrsquos overrun with numbers Donrsquot judge2) Let the remaining guilt (if any) go NO one is perfect3) Diabetes care is not an action it is a SKILL SET Therefore it can be
practiced and improved upon4) Control is the end result of your decisions and choices This applies to
minute to minute control as well as long term control5) NO health care provider manages anyonersquos diabetes They never can
and they never will Itrsquos a self managed condition
Five practical advanced diabetes care tips
1) Better synchronize your insulin and your meals2) Check blood sugars 2-3 hours after meals3) Correct any out of range sugar you discover (ldquotreat to targetrdquo)
4) Work to get morning blood sugars into target range (F-F-F)5) Reviewanalyze your blood sugars at least weekly
Diabetes care is best approached 1 day at a time

Principles of Sugar Surfing1 A CGM is no better or
worse than the person responding to it
2 If you can measure it you can predict it
3 Flux and drift happenhellip manipulate them
4 Keep your eye on your line5 The trend is your friend6 Learn lag limits be patient
7 Zero in on your zone8 Master micro-dosing9 Factor in glycemic inertia
and insulin momentum10 Donrsquot let ldquogood enoughrdquo
be the enemy11 Calibrate carefully12 Pre-empt when you can
Turnaround Time glycemic inertiaCorrections may need to be adjusted 10-20 to compensate
Goal Try to stay between the lines
As your skills improve lower the glucose for the upper alert
Cal-i-bra-tion (noun ˌka-lə-ˈbrā-shən)bull Comparing the sensor to an
accepted ldquostandardrdquo valuebull The accepted ldquostandardrdquo value is
a fingerstick BG levelbull So the sensor itself can be no
more accurate than the BG meter itrsquos compared tohellipor how well the BG meter was used
Calibration tips
bull The first sensor day can be erratic as it ldquosettles inrdquo
bull Donrsquot over calibratebull Try to calibrate on a steady trend bull Try to calibrate when in your
target range

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)
bull A CGM device can serve as a ldquobiofeedbackrdquo device of sorts in adults willing to develop the ability over time

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is

bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)

Concrete thinkers canrsquothellip
1 Consider a hypothesis2 Consider multiple possibilities
in a scenario3 Systematically solve a problem4 Use combinatorial logic
Lasts until 15-17 years of age25 of adults are concrete thinkers
You CAN influence how long it lasts
diabetes treatment preserves INTERNALLY made insulin
Five things to remember about T1D1) Diabetes care isnrsquot a contest Itrsquos overrun with numbers Donrsquot judge2) Let the remaining guilt (if any) go NO one is perfect3) Diabetes care is not an action it is a SKILL SET Therefore it can be
practiced and improved upon4) Control is the end result of your decisions and choices This applies to
minute to minute control as well as long term control5) NO health care provider manages anyonersquos diabetes They never can
and they never will Itrsquos a self managed condition
Five practical advanced diabetes care tips
1) Better synchronize your insulin and your meals2) Check blood sugars 2-3 hours after meals3) Correct any out of range sugar you discover (ldquotreat to targetrdquo)
4) Work to get morning blood sugars into target range (F-F-F)5) Reviewanalyze your blood sugars at least weekly

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)

Ok Ok to me
Concrete thinkers canrsquothellip
1 Consider a hypothesis2 Consider multiple possibilities
in a scenario3 Systematically solve a problem4 Use combinatorial logic
Lasts until 15-17 years of age25 of adults are concrete thinkers
You CAN influence how long it lasts
diabetes treatment preserves INTERNALLY made insulin
Five things to remember about T1D1) Diabetes care isnrsquot a contest Itrsquos overrun with numbers Donrsquot judge2) Let the remaining guilt (if any) go NO one is perfect3) Diabetes care is not an action it is a SKILL SET Therefore it can be
practiced and improved upon4) Control is the end result of your decisions and choices This applies to
minute to minute control as well as long term control5) NO health care provider manages anyonersquos diabetes They never can
and they never will Itrsquos a self managed condition
Five practical advanced diabetes care tips
1) Better synchronize your insulin and your meals2) Check blood sugars 2-3 hours after meals3) Correct any out of range sugar you discover (ldquotreat to targetrdquo)
4) Work to get morning blood sugars into target range (F-F-F)5) Reviewanalyze your blood sugars at least weekly
Diabetes care is best approached 1 day at a time

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)
bull A CGM device can serve as a ldquobiofeedbackrdquo device of sorts in adults willing to develop the ability over time

Concrete thinkers canrsquothellip
1 Consider a hypothesis2 Consider multiple possibilities
in a scenario3 Systematically solve a problem4 Use combinatorial logic
Lasts until 15-17 years of age25 of adults are concrete thinkers
You CAN influence how long it lasts
diabetes treatment preserves INTERNALLY made insulin
Five things to remember about T1D1) Diabetes care isnrsquot a contest Itrsquos overrun with numbers Donrsquot judge2) Let the remaining guilt (if any) go NO one is perfect3) Diabetes care is not an action it is a SKILL SET Therefore it can be
practiced and improved upon4) Control is the end result of your decisions and choices This applies to
minute to minute control as well as long term control5) NO health care provider manages anyonersquos diabetes They never can
and they never will Itrsquos a self managed condition
Five practical advanced diabetes care tips
1) Better synchronize your insulin and your meals2) Check blood sugars 2-3 hours after meals3) Correct any out of range sugar you discover (ldquotreat to targetrdquo)
4) Work to get morning blood sugars into target range (F-F-F)5) Reviewanalyze your blood sugars at least weekly
Diabetes care is best approached 1 day at a time

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)

Concrete thinkers canrsquothellip
1 Consider a hypothesis2 Consider multiple possibilities
in a scenario3 Systematically solve a problem4 Use combinatorial logic
Lasts until 15-17 years of age25 of adults are concrete thinkers
You CAN influence how long it lasts
diabetes treatment preserves INTERNALLY made insulin
Five things to remember about T1D1) Diabetes care isnrsquot a contest Itrsquos overrun with numbers Donrsquot judge2) Let the remaining guilt (if any) go NO one is perfect3) Diabetes care is not an action it is a SKILL SET Therefore it can be
practiced and improved upon4) Control is the end result of your decisions and choices This applies to
minute to minute control as well as long term control5) NO health care provider manages anyonersquos diabetes They never can
and they never will Itrsquos a self managed condition
Five practical advanced diabetes care tips
1) Better synchronize your insulin and your meals2) Check blood sugars 2-3 hours after meals3) Correct any out of range sugar you discover (ldquotreat to targetrdquo)
4) Work to get morning blood sugars into target range (F-F-F)5) Reviewanalyze your blood sugars at least weekly
Diabetes care is best approached 1 day at a time

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)

Concrete thinkers canrsquothellip
1 Consider a hypothesis2 Consider multiple possibilities
in a scenario3 Systematically solve a problem4 Use combinatorial logic
Lasts until 15-17 years of age25 of adults are concrete thinkers
You CAN influence how long it lasts
diabetes treatment preserves INTERNALLY made insulin
Five things to remember about T1D1) Diabetes care isnrsquot a contest Itrsquos overrun with numbers Donrsquot judge2) Let the remaining guilt (if any) go NO one is perfect3) Diabetes care is not an action it is a SKILL SET Therefore it can be
practiced and improved upon4) Control is the end result of your decisions and choices This applies to
minute to minute control as well as long term control5) NO health care provider manages anyonersquos diabetes They never can
and they never will Itrsquos a self managed condition
Five practical advanced diabetes care tips
1) Better synchronize your insulin and your meals2) Check blood sugars 2-3 hours after meals3) Correct any out of range sugar you discover (ldquotreat to targetrdquo)
4) Work to get morning blood sugars into target range (F-F-F)5) Reviewanalyze your blood sugars at least weekly
Diabetes care is best approached 1 day at a time

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)
bull A CGM device can serve as a ldquobiofeedbackrdquo device of sorts in adults willing to develop the ability over time

Ok Ok to me
Concrete thinkers canrsquothellip
1 Consider a hypothesis2 Consider multiple possibilities
in a scenario3 Systematically solve a problem4 Use combinatorial logic
Lasts until 15-17 years of age25 of adults are concrete thinkers
You CAN influence how long it lasts
diabetes treatment preserves INTERNALLY made insulin
Five things to remember about T1D1) Diabetes care isnrsquot a contest Itrsquos overrun with numbers Donrsquot judge2) Let the remaining guilt (if any) go NO one is perfect3) Diabetes care is not an action it is a SKILL SET Therefore it can be
practiced and improved upon4) Control is the end result of your decisions and choices This applies to
minute to minute control as well as long term control5) NO health care provider manages anyonersquos diabetes They never can
and they never will Itrsquos a self managed condition
Five practical advanced diabetes care tips
1) Better synchronize your insulin and your meals2) Check blood sugars 2-3 hours after meals3) Correct any out of range sugar you discover (ldquotreat to targetrdquo)
4) Work to get morning blood sugars into target range (F-F-F)5) Reviewanalyze your blood sugars at least weekly
Diabetes care is best approached 1 day at a time

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

The bodyrsquos defenses against low blood sugar

stability
Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)
bull A CGM device can serve as a ldquobiofeedbackrdquo device of sorts in adults willing to develop the ability over time

Ok Ok to me
Concrete thinkers canrsquothellip
1 Consider a hypothesis2 Consider multiple possibilities
in a scenario3 Systematically solve a problem4 Use combinatorial logic
Lasts until 15-17 years of age25 of adults are concrete thinkers
You CAN influence how long it lasts
diabetes treatment preserves INTERNALLY made insulin
Five things to remember about T1D1) Diabetes care isnrsquot a contest Itrsquos overrun with numbers Donrsquot judge2) Let the remaining guilt (if any) go NO one is perfect3) Diabetes care is not an action it is a SKILL SET Therefore it can be
practiced and improved upon4) Control is the end result of your decisions and choices This applies to
minute to minute control as well as long term control5) NO health care provider manages anyonersquos diabetes They never can
and they never will Itrsquos a self managed condition
Five practical advanced diabetes care tips
1) Better synchronize your insulin and your meals2) Check blood sugars 2-3 hours after meals3) Correct any out of range sugar you discover (ldquotreat to targetrdquo)
4) Work to get morning blood sugars into target range (F-F-F)5) Reviewanalyze your blood sugars at least weekly
Diabetes care is best approached 1 day at a time

Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

The bodyrsquos defenses against low blood sugar

the conscious brain Once sugar levels off the brain senses
stability
Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)
bull A CGM device can serve as a ldquobiofeedbackrdquo device of sorts in adults willing to develop the ability over time

Lasts until 15-17 years of age25 of adults are concrete thinkers
You CAN influence how long it lasts
diabetes treatment preserves INTERNALLY made insulin
Five things to remember about T1D1) Diabetes care isnrsquot a contest Itrsquos overrun with numbers Donrsquot judge2) Let the remaining guilt (if any) go NO one is perfect3) Diabetes care is not an action it is a SKILL SET Therefore it can be
practiced and improved upon4) Control is the end result of your decisions and choices This applies to
minute to minute control as well as long term control5) NO health care provider manages anyonersquos diabetes They never can
and they never will Itrsquos a self managed condition
Five practical advanced diabetes care tips
1) Better synchronize your insulin and your meals2) Check blood sugars 2-3 hours after meals3) Correct any out of range sugar you discover (ldquotreat to targetrdquo)
4) Work to get morning blood sugars into target range (F-F-F)5) Reviewanalyze your blood sugars at least weekly
Diabetes care is best approached 1 day at a time

Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Concrete thinkers canrsquothellip
1 Consider a hypothesis2 Consider multiple possibilities
in a scenario3 Systematically solve a problem4 Use combinatorial logic
Lasts until 15-17 years of age25 of adults are concrete thinkers
You CAN influence how long it lasts
diabetes treatment preserves INTERNALLY made insulin
Five things to remember about T1D1) Diabetes care isnrsquot a contest Itrsquos overrun with numbers Donrsquot judge2) Let the remaining guilt (if any) go NO one is perfect3) Diabetes care is not an action it is a SKILL SET Therefore it can be
practiced and improved upon4) Control is the end result of your decisions and choices This applies to
minute to minute control as well as long term control5) NO health care provider manages anyonersquos diabetes They never can
and they never will Itrsquos a self managed condition
Five practical advanced diabetes care tips
1) Better synchronize your insulin and your meals2) Check blood sugars 2-3 hours after meals3) Correct any out of range sugar you discover (ldquotreat to targetrdquo)
4) Work to get morning blood sugars into target range (F-F-F)5) Reviewanalyze your blood sugars at least weekly
Diabetes care is best approached 1 day at a time
static vs dynamic diabetes carestaticbull Actions predeterminedbull Minimal flexibility RIGIDbull Outcomes donrsquot immediately

Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Concrete thinkers canrsquothellip
1 Consider a hypothesis2 Consider multiple possibilities
in a scenario3 Systematically solve a problem4 Use combinatorial logic
Lasts until 15-17 years of age25 of adults are concrete thinkers
You CAN influence how long it lasts
diabetes treatment preserves INTERNALLY made insulin
Five things to remember about T1D1) Diabetes care isnrsquot a contest Itrsquos overrun with numbers Donrsquot judge2) Let the remaining guilt (if any) go NO one is perfect3) Diabetes care is not an action it is a SKILL SET Therefore it can be
practiced and improved upon4) Control is the end result of your decisions and choices This applies to
minute to minute control as well as long term control5) NO health care provider manages anyonersquos diabetes They never can
and they never will Itrsquos a self managed condition
Five practical advanced diabetes care tips
1) Better synchronize your insulin and your meals2) Check blood sugars 2-3 hours after meals3) Correct any out of range sugar you discover (ldquotreat to targetrdquo)
4) Work to get morning blood sugars into target range (F-F-F)5) Reviewanalyze your blood sugars at least weekly
Diabetes care is best approached 1 day at a time
static vs dynamic diabetes carestaticbull Actions predeterminedbull Minimal flexibility RIGIDbull Outcomes donrsquot immediately
affect subsequent actionsbull Easy to teachlearnbull Less time-intensivebull Favors concrete thinkingbull Less motivation needed
dynamicbull Actions are dependent on
situationcircumstancebull Flexible and adaptablebull Outcomes constantly influence
subsequent actionsbull Training needed plus ongoing
reinforcementbull More time intensivebull Favors problem-solvingbull Requires ongoing motivation

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)

Concrete thinkers canrsquothellip
1 Consider a hypothesis2 Consider multiple possibilities
in a scenario3 Systematically solve a problem4 Use combinatorial logic
Lasts until 15-17 years of age25 of adults are concrete thinkers
You CAN influence how long it lasts
diabetes treatment preserves INTERNALLY made insulin
Five things to remember about T1D1) Diabetes care isnrsquot a contest Itrsquos overrun with numbers Donrsquot judge2) Let the remaining guilt (if any) go NO one is perfect3) Diabetes care is not an action it is a SKILL SET Therefore it can be
practiced and improved upon4) Control is the end result of your decisions and choices This applies to
minute to minute control as well as long term control5) NO health care provider manages anyonersquos diabetes They never can
and they never will Itrsquos a self managed condition
Five practical advanced diabetes care tips
1) Better synchronize your insulin and your meals2) Check blood sugars 2-3 hours after meals3) Correct any out of range sugar you discover (ldquotreat to targetrdquo)
4) Work to get morning blood sugars into target range (F-F-F)5) Reviewanalyze your blood sugars at least weekly
Diabetes care is best approached 1 day at a time
static vs dynamic diabetes carestaticbull Actions predeterminedbull Minimal flexibility RIGIDbull Outcomes donrsquot immediately
affect subsequent actionsbull Easy to teachlearnbull Less time-intensivebull Favors concrete thinkingbull Less motivation needed
dynamicbull Actions are dependent on
situationcircumstancebull Flexible and adaptablebull Outcomes constantly influence
subsequent actionsbull Training needed plus ongoing

Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is

bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)

Five things to remember about T1D1) Diabetes care isnrsquot a contest Itrsquos overrun with numbers Donrsquot judge2) Let the remaining guilt (if any) go NO one is perfect3) Diabetes care is not an action it is a SKILL SET Therefore it can be
practiced and improved upon4) Control is the end result of your decisions and choices This applies to
minute to minute control as well as long term control5) NO health care provider manages anyonersquos diabetes They never can
and they never will Itrsquos a self managed condition
Five practical advanced diabetes care tips
1) Better synchronize your insulin and your meals2) Check blood sugars 2-3 hours after meals3) Correct any out of range sugar you discover (ldquotreat to targetrdquo)
4) Work to get morning blood sugars into target range (F-F-F)5) Reviewanalyze your blood sugars at least weekly
Diabetes care is best approached 1 day at a time

Principles of Sugar Surfing1 A CGM is no better or
worse than the person responding to it
2 If you can measure it you can predict it
3 Flux and drift happenhellip manipulate them
4 Keep your eye on your line5 The trend is your friend6 Learn lag limits be patient
7 Zero in on your zone8 Master micro-dosing9 Factor in glycemic inertia
and insulin momentum10 Donrsquot let ldquogood enoughrdquo
be the enemy11 Calibrate carefully12 Pre-empt when you can
Turnaround Time glycemic inertiaCorrections may need to be adjusted 10-20 to compensate
Goal Try to stay between the lines
As your skills improve lower the glucose for the upper alert
Cal-i-bra-tion (noun ˌka-lə-ˈbrā-shən)bull Comparing the sensor to an

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is

bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)
bull A CGM device can serve as a ldquobiofeedbackrdquo device of sorts in adults willing to develop the ability over time

Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

The bodyrsquos defenses against low blood sugar

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)
bull A CGM device can serve as a ldquobiofeedbackrdquo device of sorts in adults willing to develop the ability over time

Rationalebull Slow downward BG trend
(red arrow)
bull Crossed personal ldquoaction considerationrdquo threshold 60 mgdl in my case (yellow bottom line)
bull Drank 20 gm grape juice and went back to sleep
bull Knew the CGM would alert me to a rapidly rising BG later if I over treated

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is

Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)
bull A CGM device can serve as a ldquobiofeedbackrdquo device of sorts in adults willing to develop the ability over time

Principles of Sugar Surfing1 A CGM is no better or
worse than the person responding to it
2 If you can measure it you can predict it
3 Flux and drift happenhellip manipulate them
4 Keep your eye on your line5 The trend is your friend6 Learn lag limits be patient
7 Zero in on your zone8 Master micro-dosing9 Factor in glycemic inertia
and insulin momentum10 Donrsquot let ldquogood enoughrdquo
be the enemy11 Calibrate carefully12 Pre-empt when you can
Turnaround Time glycemic inertiaCorrections may need to be adjusted 10-20 to compensate
Goal Try to stay between the lines
As your skills improve lower the glucose for the upper alert
Cal-i-bra-tion (noun ˌka-lə-ˈbrā-shən)bull Comparing the sensor to an
accepted ldquostandardrdquo valuebull The accepted ldquostandardrdquo value is
a fingerstick BG levelbull So the sensor itself can be no

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)
bull A CGM device can serve as a ldquobiofeedbackrdquo device of sorts in adults willing to develop the ability over time

Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

4 Keep your eye on your line5 The trend is your friend6 Learn lag limits be patient
7 Zero in on your zone8 Master micro-dosing9 Factor in glycemic inertia

4 Keep your eye on your line5 The trend is your friend6 Learn lag limits be patient
7 Zero in on your zone8 Master micro-dosing9 Factor in glycemic inertia

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)
bull A CGM device can serve as a ldquobiofeedbackrdquo device of sorts in adults willing to develop the ability over time

Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)
bull A CGM device can serve as a ldquobiofeedbackrdquo device of sorts in adults willing to develop the ability over time

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)
bull A CGM device can serve as a ldquobiofeedbackrdquo device of sorts in adults willing to develop the ability over time

Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress

bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)
bull A CGM device can serve as a ldquobiofeedbackrdquo device of sorts in adults willing to develop the ability over time

Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)
bull A CGM device can serve as a ldquobiofeedbackrdquo device of sorts in adults willing to develop the ability over time

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)
bull A CGM device can serve as a ldquobiofeedbackrdquo device of sorts in adults willing to develop the ability over time

Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

The bodyrsquos defenses against low blood sugar

the conscious brain Once sugar levels off the brain senses
stability
Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)
bull A CGM device can serve as a ldquobiofeedbackrdquo device of sorts in adults willing to develop the ability over time

Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)
bull A CGM device can serve as a ldquobiofeedbackrdquo device of sorts in adults willing to develop the ability over time

Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)
bull A CGM device can serve as a ldquobiofeedbackrdquo device of sorts in adults willing to develop the ability over time

Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)

Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

The bodyrsquos defenses against low blood sugar

the conscious brain Once sugar levels off the brain senses
stability
Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)
bull A CGM device can serve as a ldquobiofeedbackrdquo device of sorts in adults willing to develop the ability over time

Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

The bodyrsquos defenses against low blood sugar

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)
bull A CGM device can serve as a ldquobiofeedbackrdquo device of sorts in adults willing to develop the ability over time

bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)

Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

The bodyrsquos defenses against low blood sugar

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)
bull A CGM device can serve as a ldquobiofeedbackrdquo device of sorts in adults willing to develop the ability over time

Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)

Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Rationalebull Blood sugar control is
complex it includes the brain and nervous system
bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)
bull A CGM device can serve as a ldquobiofeedbackrdquo device of sorts in adults willing to develop the ability over time

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood

Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Stress effect
Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Why actbull Slow upward BG trend

bull Have done this many times before practice practice practice

bull Long term damage to the autonomic nervous system can result in loss of classic signssymptoms of low blood sugar
bull But the brain itself might still retain the ability to sense downward sugar shifts before severe low BG kicks in (eg lt 50 mgdl)

Endocrinology Board Exam taken every 10 years
Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars

Stress and Sugarbull Strong emotional stress
triggers release of a several hormones
bull These hormones act on liver and muscle to cause the release of internal sugar from depots inside the body
bull Stress hormones also make the liver produce sugar from substances like protein and fat
bull This can overwhelm the ability of basal insulin to dispose of sugar faster than it can build up in the blood
bull CGM allows for more aggressive anti-stress treatment of rising sugars
