218. What's Actually Sabotaging Your Blood Sugars: Your Habits or Your Insulin Rates and Ratios

Many challenges with your blood sugars can be grouped into one of the two categories: habit or infrastructure. Until you know which one you're dealing with, you're likely doing patchwork (making changes that don't move the needle) and getting frustrated by nothing really changing.In this solo episode, Lauren breaks down the foundational framework she uses with every coaching client to identify exactly where the leaks are coming from. She walks through what falls under each category, why most people are unknowingly mixing the two up, and why that's one of the most common reasons people struggle to improve their blood sugars. She also covers the three most important things to understand about how habits and infrastructure interact, why 98% of people who come into coaching are convinced their settings are fine until they actually test them, and the specific order Lauren recommends starting with, so you can build momentum and start making changes that actually move your numbers.WHAT WE COVER:The ship leaks analogy…. why patching what you can see on the surface never works if you haven't found where the water is actually drainingWhat falls under the habit category What falls under the infrastructure category Why the most common mistake is treating a habit issue with an infrastructure change (and vice versa) and the real-life examples that show why this keeps people stuckWhy 98% of people who come into coaching are convinced their settings are fine and what they find when they actually test themHow to tell whether what you're experiencing is situational or a broader sign that your foundation needs to be strengthened WHAT’S NEXT:🧠 Discover Your T1D Archetype!
