Hello friends, and welcome to the next episode of the Diabetes Variable Series with me and Jenny Smith.

This is Episode 524 of the Juice Box Podcast.

This show is sponsored today by the Glucagon that my daughter carries,

G-Voke Hypo Pen. Find out more at gvokeglucagon.com forward slash juice box.

On today's episode, Jenny and I will be talking about hydration and how that is a variable in your

use of insulin. Please remember while you're listening that nothing you hear on the juice box

podcast should be considered advice medical or otherwise and always, always, always consult a physician

before making any changes to your health care plan or becoming bold with insulin.

Don't forget if you're interested in Jenny professionally, she works at integrateddiabetes.com

and you can hire her. Last little bit here, if you're looking for the Diabetes Pro Tip Series,

which by the way also includes Jenny Smith, they begin at Episode 210 or are available at

juiceboxpodgast.com and at diabetesprotip.com. There you'll also find the defining Diabetes

Series, the How We Eat Series, the Variable Series, and all of the other episodes of the Juice

Box Podcast, including ones about algorithm pumping and some of my favorite, the After Dark Series.
