'winging it' or guessing your insulin dosages
chasing your tail - either going high, or going low, never steady for long
feeling like every day is random with t1d
avoiding or restricting your favourite foods because you don't know how to bolus for them
craving foods and binge eating them when you finally allow yourself to eat them - but then feeling guilty
avoiding exercising because it makes your blood sugars either high or low
hating on yourself and your body, and lacking confidence
“So many things to think about with t1d, it sometimes gets exhausting! This guide has definitely helped and gave me a lot to think about. It's very true, they don't give you a lot of info when you are diagnosed.”

“The Better Bolusing Guide has been a really big eye opener and it’s inspired me to take on my orthorexia and fear of carbohydrates. I’m pretty terrified but I know it’s what I have to do to get my period back and get my metabolism back to where it should be. Thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰”

“Since reading The Better Bolusing Guide, I’ve been doing the basal testing and for the past couple of days, my levels have been really good, no more high levels unless I carb counted wrong of course. But now I am going sit down today so I can read the rest of it. Thank you so much for giving me more confidence within myself and to listen to my body. I now feel like I can make these small changes for myself without waiting on my diabetes appts.”

“Thank you for your guide. I'm not T1D but my son is. I wasn't taught basal testing when he was diagnosed and I've been struggling with his Lantus dose for the last few months so I'm going to give it a crack to see if I can get it right. I only skimmed over the fats/protein part too but look forward to diving into that as that's an area that wasn't even mentioned in our hospital education and we have problem with. Always something to learn on the diabetes train 🙌”

“The Better Bolusing Guide is fab! I haven't read it all yet but will, but I love that a key component is focussing on the mental health of it all! And also getting away from the diet myths and the run down of basal testing! Absolutely fab! Ppl get so confused with this! And the info on fat and protein! Love it!”
