Hello, everybody. Welcome to episode 313 of the Juice Box podcast. Today's show is part two of a two-parter with Kenny Fox. Now, Kenny's name might not ring in your head like, oh, Kenny Fox. Is that like Michael Jordan for diabetes? Well, no. But what Kenny is, is a dad of a little girl who has type 1 diabetes, who really dug in to the DIY loop, and he understands it in a way that I find inspirational.

Now, Kenny and I are going to walk step by step through every setting in the loop. Talk about it in kind of a big

picture way. If you're not into a do-it-yourself algorithm for insulin pumping, I get that.

You don't need to be. I'm not telling you to be. What I am saying is listen to the episode anyway,

because it's just another way of thinking about how insulin works.

This episode of the Juicebox podcast is sponsored by Dexcom,

There'll be a little more about them later in the show, but for now, I think we should get to it.

We're going to start right at the top by saying,

Nothing you hear on the Juice Box podcast should be considered advice, medical or otherwise.

Please consult a physician before making any changes to your health care plan or becoming bold with insulin.

And today, also remember that what we're talking about is an algorithm that

Kenny and I downloaded from the internet. It doesn't belong to a company. It is completely

do it yourself. It has not passed through the FDA. So understand that while we're talking.

Now that aside, using the algorithm and watching the data come back from it and seeing how it reacts,

will absolutely supercharge your understanding of how insulin is working in your body.

I'm telling you to watch an app, a computer algorithm, decide about insulin.

It just elevates your understanding.

At least it did for me.
