Diabetes & BBQs: How I Handle Memorial Day Without Blood Sugar Spikes

from Your Diabetes Insider Podcast · host Ben Tzeel

In this episode of the Your Diabetes Insider Podcast, I'm breaking down how I personally handle Memorial Day BBQs and cookouts without my blood sugars going completely off the rails. From grazing on appetizers, hidden carbs in "simple" foods, and delayed fat spikes, to figuring out insulin timing, pre-bolusing, and using activity to boost insulin sensitivity before you even show up - this is everything I wish I knew earlier. If BBQs usually turn into a CGM stress-fest for you, this will help you feel more prepared so you can actually enjoy the food, the people, and the day without constantly worrying about your blood sugar!
