Andi is a Glucology brand partner.

Pizza: delicious, comforting, and... a total blood sugar nightmare for many people managing diabetes. If you've ever thrown your hands in the air and said, "I give up! I'll never figure out how to bolus for pizza," you're not alone—and you're going to want to tune into this episode.

In this podcast, T1D nutritionist and trainer Andi Balog shares her personal pizza bolusing formula—yes, there's a method to the madness! She explains everything from:

  • Carb counting accurately for pizza (spoiler: it’s more than just what’s in the crust!)
  • The importance of pre-bolusing and how long to wait
  • How fat and protein impact digestion time
  • Why understanding pizza ingredients matters

It's not about perfection—it’s about understanding what’s going on in your body and adjusting accordingly. Always work with your diabetes care team before changing how you dose insulin.
