Imagine your brain's a fussy eater. Sugar's its favourite. When it starves, the Cingulate Gyrus, that drama queen of the brain, throws a tantrum. It screams 'FEED ME NOW!' with such theatrical flair, you'd swear you're facing a zombie apocalypse, and you eat everything in sight.

Agreed, glucose disposal rate is so important. If we can keep it consistently high, insulin is more predictable, risk of complications is lower. High fibre diets, exercise and lowering dietary fat intake are powerful strategies too.

Ohhh exciting times. Congratulations to your family.

Hi Martin, it’s been a while I trust you are well and enjoying the conference

Yes please

It is also about fear of future risk. I live with Type 1 Diabetes, DKA is a life threatening medical emergency for us. “the risk of developing DKA in hospital is between 40-60 times higher than the background incidence rate of the type 1 population” gettingitrightfirsttime.co.uk/wp-content/u...

Yes

Ah but you are overlooking the clothing aspect. I carry a world of crap in my pockets, insulin pump, wallet, loose change, more hypo treatment, comb, my phone, my CAMAPS phone and let’s not even mention my coat pockets :).

Nice idea, I like it a lot. I think there are already precedents for this. I seem to recall a family making their own insulin in world war 2. Although this is out of my field of expertise if I am honest. It would likely require a background in pharmacology.

1. Lift glucose tablets
2. A pouch with insulin, Dexcom g6 sensor, cannula in it
3. Reading glasses
4. Keys
5. IPad lol
