Insulin Dosing – More Art Than Science

If carb counting is the maths of type 1 diabetes, insulin dosing is the art. In this episode of The Diabetic Mammy, we dive into what insulin dosing really means in day-to-day life.

From the basics of why we need insulin and the difference between basal and bolus, to the unpredictable realities of growth, hormones, stress, and even the weather, this conversation explores how numbers meet real life.

With tips from experienced hands, gentle myth-busting, and plenty of honesty about mistakes along the way, this episode is about building confidence in the constant balancing act.

Because in the end, carb counting gives you numbers — but insulin dosing is what you do with those all important numbers.

The Diabetic Mammy is the heartfelt, no-nonsense podcast where type 1 diabetes meets motherhood, community, and a whole lot of real talk. Hosted by Catherine, a mammy navigating the highs and lows of type 1 diabetes, each episode blends personal insight with practical wisdom, offering support for parents, carers, and anyone living with or loving someone with diabetes. From tech transitions and hospital diagnoses to school lunches and stolen sleep, this podcast embraces the messy, meaningful moments that make up life with chronic illness. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or a seasoned warrior, The Diabetic Mammy is your space to feel seen, supported, and never alone.
