#154: A1C vs TIR: Let's Break it Down

Listen Later

In this episode, we're breaking down some important topics that touch the lives of every T1D out there: A1C and time-in-range (TIR).

Topics Discussed:

  • Dr. Mark's own experiences sharing his TIR on Instagram and the community's response.
  • The interesting contrast between the comfort levels when discussing TIR and A1C, both personally and in the T1D community.
  • An in-depth conversation with Grace, who, like many others, feels more open about discussing TIR than A1C.
  • We delve into why sharing A1C can feel more loaded than sharing TIR and why this might be the case.
  • Dr. Mark coaches Grace on how to reframe her mindset around A1C and TIR.
  • The potential benefits of this mindset shift in promoting openness and reducing stigma around sharing T1D data.
