Imagine your brain's a fussy eater. Sugar's its favourite. When it starves, the Cingulate Gyrus, that drama queen of the brain, throws a tantrum. It screams 'FEED ME NOW!' with such theatrical flair, you'd swear you're facing a zombie apocalypse, and you eat everything in sight.

Agreed, glucose disposal rate is so important. If we can keep it consistently high, insulin is more predictable, risk of complications is lower. High fibre diets, exercise and lowering dietary fat intake are powerful strategies too.

It is also about fear of future risk. I live with Type 1 Diabetes, DKA is a life threatening medical emergency for us. β€œthe risk of developing DKA in hospital is between 40-60 times higher than the background incidence rate of the type 1 population” gettingitrightfirsttime.co.uk/wp-content/u...

Ah but you are overlooking the clothing aspect. I carry a world of crap in my pockets, insulin pump, wallet, loose change, more hypo treatment, comb, my phone, my CAMAPS phone and let’s not even mention my coat pockets :).
