Does taking insulin ever scare you? Do you ever find yourself second-guessing how much insulin to take?

Insulin is the only way to manage T1D. Without insulin, your blood sugar will go high and scary things will start to happen pretty quickly. But even though insulin is a life-saving hormone for people with T1D, for some people, taking the correct amount of insulin can be terrifying.

In this episode, I coach Rachel around taking her insulin as prescribed. After having a scary low a while back, she has had a difficult time trusting that she can make good diabetes-management decisions. Listen as Dr. Mark coaches Rachel on how to get new evidence that she can trust herself and open herself up to the possibility that she'll be be able to take insulin and manage her blood sugars without constantly feeling like she is walking on egg shells.
