We dive into how to prevent low blood sugar, reduce the frequency and severity of hypos, and avoid rebound highs using insulin pumps, CGMs, and smarter insulin timing. Gary shares practical strategies for adjusting settings, treating lows without overcorrecting, and using diabetes technology more effectively. We also talk about hypoglycemia anxiety, what causes frequent lows, and how to rebuild confidence after a scary episode.
