How to Tune Out Diabetes Noise and Focus on What Matters
Manage episode 519120847 series 3646544
Getting off track hides in background noise and tiny skips. This episode is about turning down the static so the important stuff stands out.
What You’ll Learn
- The brain hates noise: when everything pings urgent, you tune out and miss what matters.
- Alert Reset Week: pick two alerts that genuinely protect you, make them unmistakable, and turn down the rest.
- Three Anchors: schedule morning, mid‑afternoon, and evening check‑ins with your CGM to speak your trend and nudge if needed.
Tiny Levers
Choose one lever for the next seven days:
- Alert Reset Week: Keep just two life‑saving alerts and mute the rest so your brain relearns “when it pings, it matters.”
- Three Anchors: Do a quick CGM glance three times a day, say the direction out loud, and adjust if necessary.
Take Action
Decide which lever you’ll try this week and commit to it. Let Neil know which one you chose and why.
