Sugar Surfing

what is sugar surfing?

Sugar Surfing is a method of diabetes control that is dynamic rather than static. It is using the data from your CGM to make "in the moment" decisions regarding your diabetes management, whether that is altering the timing of food, adjusting a pre-meal bolus, micro dosing insulin to prevent a high BG, micro dosing with carbs to prevent a low BG, or doing nothing because your BG is in range. One key component is to check your CGM often and use the data as needed to keep your BG in range as much as possible. Improvement of diabetes control is the goal, not perfection. Learning through trial and error what works and does not for work for an individual is also key, as each person with diabetes is different and one size does not fit all.
