Living with diabetes means taking on many different responsibilities every day. In this edition of What Does It All Mean?, Dennis reflects on the different “hats” we wear when managing diabetes—from monitoring blood glucose and making food choices to exercising, understanding our data, and looking after our emotional wellbeing. Above all, he reminds us of the important role we play in our own diabetes management.
Continuous glucose monitoring provides a wealth of information, but what do all the numbers actually mean? In this edition of What Does It All Mean?, Dennis explores the evolution of glucose monitoring and breaks down key measurements in an Ambulatory Glucose Profile (AGP) Report, including Time in Range, average glucose, glucose variability, and GMI. He also looks at why CGM and glucometer readings can sometimes differ.
Travel offers more than new destinations; it provides new perspectives. In this personal essay, Dennis Goldensohn reflects on visiting five countries while sharing practical lessons about managing Type 1 diabetes during travel, embracing different cultures, and remembering to enjoy the journey.
