Pardon My Pancreas - Type 1 Diabetes with Matt Vande Vegte

A Diabetic's Worst Nightmare (Don't Make My Mistake)

FTF Warrior Season 6 Episode 79

Exactly 1 year ago, I called 9-1-1 for a low blood sugar...


Last week - I ran into the exact same scenario, but ran into an unexpected turn of events.


I'll be transparent, this one shook my confidence a bit for the rest of the day...


And the scariest part - it could happen to ANY of us (yup, you too) at any moment.


I made no "obvious" mistake, but it's one that could have ended my life as my blood sugars PLUMMETED 30+ points down with each 5 minute CGM update towards an urgent low...


WITH a massive dose of insulin that was given only minutes before.


In this episode I share something that I've been teaching my clients for years, a piece of the 80/20 blood sugar formula that I used to avoid a trip to the hospital in this situation...


"The Law of Exchange"


Tune in today to hear about my terrifying experience, learn how to spot (and fix) this mistake in your own life, and pass along the knowledge to save a life.
