This is the finale of The Head Start, and instead of another recap, Neil reads two listener stories that say what these eight weeks were really about, one from a woman who cried at her kitchen sink the first time she saw a flat 140, and one from a 31-year veteran whose time in range jumped from the low 60s to 81%.\nThen Neil looks ahead. Starting in September, the next challenge is steps, just walking, and it's the perfect sequel to pre-bolusing. One walk can improve insulin sensitivity for 24 to 48 hours, a 10-minute walk after a meal lowers the spike, and breaking up sitting can cut the after-meal glucose rise by about 28%. We start in September and October, before the cold-weather slump, because A1C is at its lowest then and climbs through winter as we move less.\nIn this episode:\nTwo real listener stories on what pre-bolusing changed for them\nWhy time in range is protecting your health for years to come\nA first look at the next challenge: steps and walking for T1D\nThe science of walking, insulin sensitivity, and post-meal blood sugar\nFinal Challenge: Keep pre-bolusing your dinner, it's yours now. And if you're feeling good tonight, take a short walk after dinner, a little sneak preview of September.\nHelpful resources and newsletter: https://yourbestt1dyear.com\nConnect with Neil: TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@the.betes Instagram: https://instagram.com/thebetes Facebook: https://facebook.com/neilgreathouse LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/neil-greathouse-a607b912 Website: https://yourbestt1dyear.com\nBooks on Amazon: Type 1 Diabetes – One Day at a Time: https://a.co/d/6UHooWJ Type 1 Diabetes – True Stories: https://a.co/d/dfIlyI1","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/o0hXmJTfrsbPYfZKHjLJRs1Dx7iBMJisKDJZnYXjscs/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9lNzFh/MDhmY2QwMjcwZTcx/NWRkZTBjNTk5YzUz/YjY2MS5QTkc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
