Physiology matters.
From day one, we're taught to take a linear approach to diabetes management.
Count your carbs. Take your insulin. Stick to a routine each and every day.
But you and I know that it doesn't work.
We see different outcomes each day but we're not taught why it happens or how to fix it.
We're not taught how hormones are the root of insulin sensitivity shifts, nutritional needs and energy fluctuations.
And it shows.
.. You've tried to 'stick to a routine' and eat the same things, with the same bolus in hopes of gaining more predictability in your blood sugars - and yet, the numbers say otherwise.
.. Maybe you're on birth control - or maybe you have a natural cycle. Either way, your concerns about monthly fluctuations have been brushed off by your care team and you're left without answers.
.. You have wanted to come off birth control, but you're worried about yet another learning curve with your body - and to be honest, who has the time to relearn your patterns and trends?
.. You track your cycle using an app on your phone that estimates your period based on an algorithm, but you haven't been able to directly correlate any blood sugar related trends, and honestly you're not sure how.
.. You can guess that you'll see more insulin resistance before your period, but when it comes to the time in between - you're not sure what to expect.
Cyclical people need to take a cyclical approach when it comes to managing blood sugars.
Imagine this instead:
→ You're able to identify exactly where you are in your cycle and know ahead of time how this will impact blood sugars (no more JUST looking at your period).
→ You're able to get ahead of insulin sensitivity shifts instead of tossing it up to "an off few days".
→ You have a game plan when it comes to nutrition, exercise and blood sugar supportive habits in each phase of your cycle.
→ You're able to look at basal body temperature, energy shifts and other cues to understand exactly where you are in your cycle and how it will impact blood sugar response.
→ You know how to adjust insulin management tools as hormones shift throughout the month, without just rotating between temp basals hoping something works.

You're no longer interested in staying complacent with "diabetes just being diabetes"
You want to increase time in range and lower your A1C without restrictive diets, over exercising or low energy.
