Failure is the Sugar Surfer’s best friend. By failure, I mean blood sugar results or trends which don’t comply with the Surfer’s initial wishes or desires. Chaos is an accepted part of any system. And the more complex a system becomes, the more opportunity for chaos to randomly appear. Success at Sugar Surfing™ has little meaning without some failures or setbacks along the way.

With careful tracking of prior readings, a reasonable course could be followed which would result in a safe arrival hopefully near their destination. Stormy weath

The pivot is to the Sugar Surfer as the forehand or backhand is to the tennis player. In this lesson I will review the basic insulin pivot. All the basic anatomical structures are displayed or highlighted in the images below. Units of measure in the upper picture are expressed in mg/dL and in the bottom image the units are mmol/L. From left to right, the following six core Sugar Surfing™ structures are visible: a delta wave, pivot, lag time, drop, inflection and shelf. The ef
