#154: A1C vs TIR: Let's Break it Down

In this episode, we're breaking down some important topics that touch the lives of every T1D out there: A1C and time-in-range (TIR).

Topics Discussed:

Dr. Mark's own experiences sharing his TIR on Instagram and the community's response.
The interesting contrast between the comfort levels when discussing TIR and A1C, both personally and in the T1D community.
An in-depth conversation with Grace, who, like many others, feels more open about discussing TIR than A1C.
We delve into why sharing A1C can feel more loaded than sharing TIR and why this might be the case.
Dr. Mark coaches Grace on how to reframe her mindset around A1C and TIR.
The potential benefits of this mindset shift in promoting openness and reducing stigma around sharing T1D data.
