Episode 115: How Long It Really Takes to Get Back on Track with Type 1 Diabetes




Comebacks aren’t overnight. This episode talks about honest timelines and the moments that tap you on the shoulder and say “pay attention.”



What You’ll Learn


  • Realistic clocks: getting your edge back is slow and starts with admitting there’s a problem.
  • Number nudges: lab days, weekly summaries, and trend lines that whisper “something needs fixing.”
  • Body cues and life stuff: stubborn highs, scary lows, weird spikes, travel chaos, holidays, sleep disruptions, and stress can all wake you up.



Course Correction Steps
Notice which shoulder‑tap moment is talking to you right now. Is it numbers, your body, or life circumstances? Decide one small move to respond to that nudge.



Take Action
Pick your strongest nudge and make one adjustment today … whether it’s booking a lab, adjusting a dose, or planning for an upcoming trip. Share what you did with Neil.
