This lecture was from our TCOYD Virtual Conference on 3.19.22.

Think of this as a beginner’s guide to diabetes management. We cover all the basics from insulin dosing, carb counting, technology you need to get, exercise, as well as some of the science around what type 1 diabetes is, why you got it, and the work being done for a cure. By the end of this session, we promise you will feel uplifted and inspired as Dr. Pettus welcomes you to this very special club.

There’s so much great technology out there to help us manage diabetes, but how do we keep track of it all and more importantly, how do we know what’s right for us? Drs. Edelman and Pettus opened up their doctor’s bags to show you the latest devices—including continuous glucose monitors, insulin pumps, and smart pens—and shared how you can use them to manage your diabetes on a daily basis.

This lecture was from our virtual "Back to School" conference on 8/7/21.

This is one class you don’t want to fail at. Skipping class and cheating may seem cool, but when it comes to diabetes management, the quality of your life depends on your attendance. In this case it’s okay to be a nerd; your eyes, kidneys, heart, friends and family will all thank you for your diligence in learning all you can on this topic. Professor Pettus will be handing out A’s and hopefully lower A1c (if all class work is applied) to all who attend.

Sure, those CGM alarms going off aggressively in the middle of the night are helping us to not die, but man are they annoying. We love CGM more than some members of our own family, but it’s not perfect. So we thought we’d have some fun highlighting a few things that drive us crazy because…well, if we didn’t laugh, we’d cry.

You may not be able to completely stop the waves of fluctuating blood glucose levels, but you can learn to surf! If you’re using a CGM (or interested in learning more about them) we’ll take you beyond the basics and show you how to use them to their fullest potential so you can “hang ten”!

Speaker: Stephen Ponder, MD

Create some technological magic by marrying your pump with your CGM. Learn how to use a computer program called an “algorithm” to take data from both your pump and CGM to adjust your pump’s insulin delivery automatically. (Gary Scheiner, MS, CDE) - TCOYD Virtual Diabetes Conference and Health Fair 2020

Find out how to TAKE CONTROL of your blood glucose levels. Could your problems be triggered by insulin spoilage, bad injections sites, improper injection techniques, wrong insulins, wrong dosages, comorbidity? Don’t know what comorbidity is? Then join this session and learn its definition along with some new tricks and tips to keep your glucose levels in better range.

Time-in-Range is the percentage of time that a person spends with their blood glucose levels in target range (70 to 180mg/dl). Learn tricks from this T1D pro on how to keep your blood glucose levels in this “sweet” spot. Foods to eat, CGM tweaks, newer insulins and other creative strategies. (Steven V.

The A1c has been the standard way to measure average blood glucose for people living with diabetes and it's still an important test, but it doesn't tell the whole story, and there are certain situations when the test may not even be accurate.

What the heck is standard deviation with regard to diabetes? In a nutshell it means how much your blood sugars are bouncing around from day to day. Dr. Edelman explains why that’s helpful to know, how it relates to "time in range" and what else you should be looking for in your CGM data.

A basal rate is the amount of insulin that is being leaked into your body over a 24-hour period. The short answer is: you need as many basal rates as get the job done! Generally speaking though you really only need one. Setting one basal rate to start with is a good strategy and you can always adjust it or add another one if you need to.
