Welcome back, friends. You are listening to the Juice Box podcast.

Managing diabetes is difficult, but trying to do it when you don't understand the lingo,

that's almost impossible. The defining diabetes series began in

2019 and today we're adding to it. Go to juiceboxpodcast.com up in the menu, click on

defining diabetes, and you'll see a complete list of all the terms that we've defined so far.

If you're new to type on diabetes, begin with the bold beginning series from the podcast.

Don't take my word for it. Listen to what reviewers have said. Bold beginnings is the best first step.

They tell me, this should come with the diagnosis packet that I got at the hospital. And after they

listen, they recommend it to everyone who's struggling. It's straightforward, practical, and easy to listen to.

Bold Beginnings gives you the basics in a way that actually makes sense.

While you're listening, please remember that nothing you hear on the Juicebox podcast should be

considered advice, medical, or otherwise. Always consult a physician before making any changes

to your health care plan or becoming bold with insulin.
