I'm so pleased to have had the opportunity to speak to Rachel. We dive deep on an issue that many T1Ds face, which is high blood sugars when breaking your fast. Rachel has been fasting for six months and was initially plagued with very high blood sugars when she would break her fast. After tinkering with her insulin (Humalog to Lyumjev), eating window, and ultimately, adding Metformin to her regimen, she has devised a strategy that works well for her. Insulin resistance can be a sneaky issue that you may not be aware that you have. This episode is definitely worth a listen if you are finding blood sugars to be difficult to manage in your eating window.

In addition, Rachel has a very interesting story, and I love the methodical way that she approaches her T1D management! Enjoy!
