About This EpisodeIn this Q&A episode, Sharon asked me "Should your insulin-to-carb ratio be the same for every meal? Or should I have more than one carb ratio?".

In this episode, I’m breaking down what actually influences your carb ratios (and why that “one number” you were given at diagnosis might not be cutting it anymore).Don't forget to leave a review in your podcast
