Thirty years with type one, and diligent about it — until an eye exam this year found early diabetic retinopathy. A reminder it can happen even when you're in range.

Pre-bolusing is one of those things people learn years later than they should have. The whole idea fits in a word: timing. Give the insulin a head start on the food, and the two of them meet in the middle instead of fighting each other the whole way down. It costs nothing. Nobody's selling it. It's just a small change in when — not more insulin, not a new device — and for a lot of us it was the thing that flattened everything out. This song is that lesson set to a beat.

The words are drawn directly from the podcast — the management series, the interviews, and years of conversations with this community. I worked with Claude, an AI assistant, to shape those ideas into lyrics, then directed the music, voices, and arrangement myself before having it performed by Suno, an AI music tool. The AI performs it, but the podcast wrote it.
If you're new to this, you don't have to get it perfect on day one. Start small, watch which way the arrow's pointing, and let each meal teach you a little more. Nobody hands you this stuff up front, so consider it handed to you now. There are people out here who've been where you are and who have your back.
Miss Early
They call me Miss Early, I'm ahead of the plate
I done did the math before you even said grace
Twenty little minutes, that's the head-start habit
Food move fast, so I beat it like a rabbit
Insulin's a slow jam, dinner is a sprint
If you send 'em out together, baby, take the hint
Full lyrics at link below.
Lyrics drawn from Juicebox Podcast episodes, shaped with Claude
Music, voices, and arrangement directed by Scott Benner
Performed by Suno
