Why You’re “Off Track” (and How to Get Your Edge Back with T1D)

How we drift off track in T1D management and why it happens quietly. It’s less about dramatic crashes and more about the slow blur of basic habits.

What You’ll Learn

Drift looks ordinary: fewer CGM checks, skipping the pre‑bolus, guessing carbs instead of reading labels, putting off refills.
Habits blur slowly: late doses, dismissing alarms without adjusting thresholds, and a sense of “I’ll fix it later.”
Self‑honesty is the first step toward course correction and community makes the difference.

Course Correction Steps

Audit your routine by listing the habits you’ve let slide and pick one to tighten up this week. Finish the prompt “I tend to get off track when…” and share it with Neil for accountability.

Take Action

Identify one area where you’ve drifted and commit to a small course correction this week. Send your prompt to Neil on social media to join the conversation.
