Real Stories, Real Data, Real Results - Using Your CGM to Improve Time in Range

In this video on understanding your ambulatory glucose profile (AGP) report, pediatric endocrinologist, Dr. Amy Criego from the International Diabetes Center, uses real-world AGP examples to show how small steps and manageable goals can lead to more Time in Range.
In this video, Dr. Criego shares real-world AGP reports from three people with diabetes:
Lee is a 20-year-old who has had type 1 diabetes for seven years. He currently uses a blood glucose monitor and insulin injections and his A1C is usually high. He struggles with consistent monitoring of his glucose levels, especially due to an unpredictable schedule.
Joe is a 17-year-old who has had type 1 diabetes for 11 years. He has been using a CGM for a long time and is working to increase his independence with his diabetes management.
Jill is a 10-year-old who has lived with type 1 diabetes since the age of two. She uses a CGM, and though her parents currently give her insulin injections, the family is interested in exploring insulin pumps to see how they could help her diabetes management.

Thank you very much, your email please, I wonder if PDF for your presentation is available

Could someone explain to me why type 1 diabetics are not using low carb diets as a tool to manage their blood sugar and more importantly why the medical community isn’t advocating for this? A diet high in protein and fat creates a long flat glucose response in type 2 diabetics so why wouldnt it allow type 1 diabetics to achieve the same goal and require far less insulin use?

[@linuxssh]

Because T1D doesn't have to be about restrictions. You can achieve an over 90% time in range eating normal. But you have to take count of other stuff. They say here that 75% TIR is great... It can easily be much greater.

[@doubledutch3439]

It would. Plus your TIR would be 100% and your GV could be as low as ~10%.

@@doubledutch3439 its obvious the whole medical and scientific community cant see the forest for the trees. They only see the money

You need presentations on people with type 2 diabetes.
