Sugar Surfing · Newly Diagnosed
New to type 1 diabetes? You’re learning a lot, fast.
A new diagnosis brings a flood of numbers, technology, routines, and decisions. Sugar Surfing shares Stephen W. Ponder, MD’s firsthand perspective from both sides of diabetes care—as a pediatric endocrinologist and as someone living with type 1 diabetes.
A place to start
Learn to see change, direction, and context.
Sugar Surfing was written at the dawn of continuous glucose monitoring, when a continuous stream of glucose information was changing what people could see and understand. It is a firsthand account of learning what CGM could reveal beyond isolated numbers—and how context can change what those numbers mean.
