Managing diabetes is difficult, but trying to do it when you don't understand the lingo, that's almost impossible. The Defining Diabetes series began in 2019, and today we're adding to it. Go to juiceboxpodcast.com up in the menu, click on Defining Diabetes and you'll see a complete list of all the terms that we've defined so far. If you're new to type 1 diabetes, begin with the Bold Beginnings series from the podcast. Don't take my word for it. Listen to what reviewers have said. Bold Beginnings is the best first step. I learned more in those episodes than anywhere else. This is when everything finally clicked. People say it takes the stress out of the early days and replaces it with clarity. They tell me this should come with the diagnosis packet that I got at the hospital. And after they listen, they recommend it to everyone who's struggling. It's straightforward, practical, and easy to listen to. Bold Beginnings gives you the basics in a way that actually makes sense.

Oh, that's a fun one. I've heard as an acronym, which is what it is, right? I've heard people say different words for the letters of the acronym. I have always, eons ago, when it sort of first came into my vernacular, it has always been scientific wide gas, scientific wide scientific wide ass guess. Like you are totally estimating. You're guessing. You're looking at that plate and you're like, ah, I don't know, 45 grams of car.

This one is. It's interesting because we do have a. A small sips episode about this where we actually break down like dozens of different meanings that people have. But it doesn't exist in the Defining series. So people have been asking for me to put it here. I think the way you hear it, the way you've heard it over and over again, it is interesting. It makes you realize that other people have heard it a different way. I've always heard scientific wild guess wild, but there are no end of options. We just want you to understand that when you see it online, when somebody's saying, oh, I swag that meal, they just mean, I looked at it and I guess the carbs entirely.

It's a guess swag in general, despite it having words to the letters, it is just equal to I guess. And I guess, like it was a gas. Yeah, Yeah.
