#77 Think Like a Pancreas Chapter 5: The Basal/Bolus Approach with Heather
07/14/22 • 73 min
Who's ready to think like a pancreas?! This is the fifth episode in our 10 week, Think Like a Pancreas Book Club Series and today I am covering chapter FIVE called, The Basal/Bolus Approach. My guest for this one is another amazing T1D mom, Heather. This chapter gives a great overview of the different insulin programs to choose from as well as a great pro and con list to being on an insulin pump.
Listen, if you have type 1 diabetes or your kid has type 1 diabetes or someone you love has diabetes or perhaps you have type 2 diabetes and are taking insulin, I can confidently say you need to own a copy of this book and actually read it. I call it my diabetes bible and refer back to it often! It will teach you how to manage your insulin better and empower you to make all those hundreds of daily diabetes decisions faster and with more confidence. I sure do hope you will follow along with us. See links below to get your copy from Amazon or get your signed copy from the author, Gary Scheiner, on his company's website, integrateddiabetes.com. Enjoy!
