Managing Type 1 diabetes isn’t hard because it’s complicated. It’s hard because it never stops.

The T1D Playbook is a 164-page practical guide written entirely from lived experience, from 30+ years of managing T1D through real life: food, exercise, travel, stress, fatherhood, and everything in between.

This isn’t medical advice. It’s the systems, frameworks, and hard-won knowledge that actually work outside the clinic.

WHAT’S INSIDE:

Food & Dosing — Pre-bolus timing, high-fat meals, eating out, alcohol and T1D

Exercise — Strength training, cardio, team sports, competition day. Every format covered with its own protocol.

Travel — The T.R.I.P.S. protocol: time zones, insulin storage, TSA, what to do when things go wrong on the road

Data & Tuning — How to read your CGM reports, fix morning highs, tune your settings one variable at a time

Burnout — What it actually is, why it happens, and the way back

Parenting with T1D — Managing your T1D while raising a young child. A chapter most T1D books don’t touch.

Full Appendix — S.A.F.E. card, Pre-Bolus timing chart, Partner card, CGM trend guide, and a Baseline Numbers worksheet

7 frameworks. 13 chapters. 164 pages. Built for the T1D adult who’s done Googling and ready for a system.
