Hey Diabuddy thank you for listening to show, send me some positive vibes with your favorite part of this episode.

In this episode, Coach Ken and Graham break down one of the biggest challenges in diabetes management—and it has nothing to do with knowledge.

It’s trust.

Ken shares a powerful perspective on what it looks like to move from constantly “trying” to building a level of confidence where your decisions become more automatic. From insulin dosing to daily routines, this conversation highlights how many people already know what to do—but struggle to trust themselves even with the simple things.

They dive into real-life examples, including under-dosing insulin out of fear of lows, second-guessing decisions even when you know the answer, and relying too heavily on perfect outcomes instead of trusting the process.

Ken also shares his “at-bat” analogy—explaining how diabetes isn’t about hitting a home run every time, but about stepping up with confidence, making contact, and not fearing the result.

The episode closes with a deeper conversation around a major issue in the diabetes space:

🔑 Key Takeaways
