We talk through insulin-to-carb ratios, pre-bolus timing, extended boluses, and how different foods impact post-meal blood sugar patterns. Gary shares practical ways to read your CGM data to tell whether highs and lows are caused by timing, dosing, or carb counting challenges. We also cover strategies for handling slow-digesting meals, high-fat foods, and unpredictable eating situations without increasing hypoglycemia risk.  Work with Gary and his team: https://diabetech.link/IDS Send in YOUR questions about Hypoglycemia: https://diabetech.link/ODTquestions Listen to the podcast here: https://diabetech.link/podcast Products I recommend: Sugar Dash CGM Display: https://diabetech.link/sugardash Glowcose CGM Light: https://bit.ly/glowcoselight Diabetes Supplies: https://amzn.to/3N2Qs5F Production Gear I Use: https://amzn.to/4fWzVvS?r=lp&m=MnbegAphq2w *DISCLAIMERS: This podcast is not medical advice and is for educational purposes only.
