In a conversation about a recent article about my fully-closed looping a question was posed to me about how my body (and AID system) would react to something like an unannounced fruit juice. My results have to be influenced by my diet to some extent. Fruit juice is something I don’t consume much of. And …

This is a question we often see discussed, but I think some of those discussions miss an important issue which I’m going to explore here. The HbA1c blood test shows us how much of the haemoglobin in our blood has been “glycated” (bonded with glucose). We’re often shown that value in the context of trying …
