Hey Diabuddy thank you for listening to show, send me some positive vibes with your favorite part of this episode.

What are the essential skills needed to control diabetes? Almost one year ago we released an episode about the essential skills we believe every diabetic needs to know to be successful. Now, nearly a year later we've expanded upon that list. Listen as Graham and Ken debate what skills should be on this LIST!

The 5 Essential Skills to Controlling Diabetes:

2. Foundational Skills

• Carb Counting
• Insulin Timing (Pre-Bolusing)
• Basil Insulin - How do you manipulate you're basil?
• Bolus Insulin - How to use Bolus insulin effectively?
• Understanding Technology - CGM's

3. Consistency
4. Physical Well-Being 

• Physical Exercise
• Sleep
• Stress
• Hydration
• Understand how MACRO nutrients affect your blood sugar
• Nutrition - what is your relationship with food?

5. Support System - We're not talking about your parents.
