For episode 14 of the Podabetic podcast I had the pleasure of interviewing T1D mom Michelle MacPhee, who's son Max is currently living with t1d. Through experimentation, Michelle has been able to put her finger on the pulse with Max's BGLs around high fat, high protein foods. How does she do it? Whats the formula?

Lots of great takeaways and insights into the 'why' and 'how to' of perfectionism, anxiety, and more!
