#126: How to Stay Sane with a CGM

The Diabetes Psychologist Podcast is now the Live Free with T1D Podcast! 

Do you have a love-hate relationship with your CGM?

That's been Jessica's experience. Jessica relies on her CGM to keep her blood sugars in range. And lately, Jessica finds that she has been paying a little too much attention to her CGM. In fact, she obsesses over it, causing her to make micro-corrections that send her low. Instead of improving her diabetes management, her CGM is making it even more challenging.

In this episode, I coach Jessica on how she can change how she thinks about her CGM and the data it gives her, and turn it (back into) a helpful tool. I give her some tips for getting out of her CGM's way, so it can do its job and help her keep her blood sugar in range, along with her sanity.
