How Do You Train A Diabetes Service Dog?
Have you ever wondered how diabetes service dogs are trained?
It all starts with the basics! Capo, a diabetes service dog, started by learning how to walk on a leash and be comfortable around strangers. From there, Capo learned how to detect and alert Carson when his blood sugar is too high or too low through reward-based training using scent samples.
Check out my conversation with Carson Magee, where he dives deeper into Capo's training, and how Capo has been a real lifesaver for him.

How Should You Manage Your Blood Sugar When Heading Off To College?
Life is full of changes when you’re heading off to college. Your diabetes management is no different!
Your food, environment, and schedule are all likely to change, so it’s super important to monitor your blood sugar for changes and adjust as needed for the first few weeks. After the first few weeks, you tend to get into a routine, which can actually be very beneficial to your diabetes management.
Come listen in as I talk with Yoni Gilad about what he has done to manage his T1D while in college with the help of monitoring and getting on a set schedule.

How To Decipher Between User Error And A Site Issue
Don't blame yourself every time your blood sugar is insufficient!
Often, inaccurate numbers come from a site issue, so take a few extra minutes to watch your numbers and replace the site if you need to.
We're not perfect, neither is our diabetes management, and that is okay. The goal is to live a long and healthy life, and a drop in your blood sugars won’t have to defer that.
Check out my conversation with Amy Hess Fischl as we discuss the importance of honest conversations with your healthcare provider and the impact of your insulin distribution timeline.
