When Type 1 Diabetes Feels Like Hydroplaning: How to Regain Control

Hydroplaning is what happens when your car slides where it wants ... and it’s how T1D can feel when numbers drift despite “doing everything right.” This episode puts words to that feeling.

What You’ll Learn

Ghost carbs and winging doses: counting carbs you didn’t really count and guessing your way through meals.
Pre‑bolus amnesia and alarm fatigue: eating before dosing and muting alerts without fixing thresholds.
Pump chaos: running low on battery or insulin and delaying set changes until disaster hits.

Course Correction Steps
Finish the line “If I want my edge back by December 1, the thing I have to stop pretending about is ___.” Be honest about what’s really breaking your control.

Take Action
Write out the one thing you’ve been pretending isn’t a problem and share it with Neil. Naming it is the first step to regaining control.
