| 0:00.0 | Hello friends, welcome to the SIPS series. |
| 0:13.8 | These foundational strategies were nominated by listeners. |
| 0:17.6 | They told me, these are the ideas in the podcast that truly made a difference for them. |
| 0:22.1 | So I distilled them down into short, actionable insights. There's not going to be any fluff or |
| 0:26.7 | complex jargon, just practical real-world diabetes management that you can start applying today. |
| 0:32.0 | And I know your time is valuable, so we're keeping these short. Another small sip will come out |
| 0:36.8 | once a week for the foreseeable future. |
| 0:39.6 | If you like what you hear, check out the Pro Tip series or the Bold Beginning series for more. |
| 0:45.8 | Those series are available in the menu at juiceboxpodcast.com, and you can find complete lists of all of the series in the featured tab on the private Facebook group. |
| 0:57.6 | Please remember that nothing you hear on the Juicebox podcast should be considered advice, medical or otherwise. |
| 1:03.0 | Always consult a physician before making any changes to your health care plan or becoming bold with insulin. |

It's the amount of insulin using the right amount of insulin at the right time. If you do that, |
| 1:50.1 | obviously it's not as easy as it sounds. But if you use the right amount of insulin at the right |
| 1:55.1 | time, diabetes works out much better. Right. 80% of the time it's going to work better. Yes. |
| 2:03.0 | Yeah. It's not a, listen, nothing's a perfect system. I've had people come after me before |
| 2:07.6 | because they're like, you can't say something so definitively because somebody will get confused. |
| 2:11.9 | And like, I understand that idea. But at its core, managing insulin is timing and amount. It just is. Like, you have to use |
| 2:20.3 | the right amount of insulin at the right time. You can use the right amount of insulin at the |
| 2:24.1 | wrong time, and that won't matter, right? You could make a perfect bolus and not pre-bolus a meal |
