Confessions of a T1D Mom – Part 1 🥞💉

What did you think you knew about type 1 diabetes before it became part of your family’s world?

This T1D mom opens up about something she didn’t know—and how that gap in understanding shaped her early experience.

Friendly Reminder: Blood glucose monitoring (BGM) still matters—even if you use a CGM!

Ever had a moment where your body said one thing and your CGM said another? You’re not alone.

Technology is powerful, but not perfect. A backup fingerstick test can be a lifesaver when numbers don’t add up.

🎯 Accuracy matters.
💡 Always good to have a BGM on hand—just in case.

Do you still keep a backup monitor at home?

CGMs are an incredible tool, but sometimes you still need a trusty blood glucose meter.

Whether you need to calibrate, take a break from the constant alarms, or just want an alternative way to check your levels, blood glucose meters are still a vital part of managing diabetes.

💡 And the best part? They’re often more affordable and accessible than CGMs, making them a great option for many.

CGMs are awesome, but they aren’t perfect!

Make sure you always have a blood glucose meter on hand for calibrations and to make the best decisions for your diabetes care. Listen to your body—it knows best!

#SaveYourFingers with Genteel

Give fingers a break Eliminate severe puncture marks, swelling, bruising and sensitivity using vacuum and depth control and start using the palm (which matches fingertip readings!)

No more squeezing With it’s vacuum, Genteel brings blood to the surface and forms the perfect drop anywhere on the body. Squeezing is a thing of the past.

Reduce lancet impact Typical lancing devices slice into the skin instead of using a precise vertical direction. By using a precise motion and controlling how far the lancet goes into your skin, you can start testing with less pain.

Waste less test strips Get enough blood no matter how thirsty your meter is. The vacuum brings the perfect drop of blood for the surface. By choosing a deeper Contact Tip and/or holding the Activation Button down longer, you can also get more blood if needed.

Choose your test location You can start testing anywhere on the body. Each Genteel comes with 2 Nozzles which enable you to configure multiple locations to test on.

Make testing personalized Great for adults and kids alike, the sticker sheet comes with letters, action figures, and full wraps so you can customize your Genteel and have fun with testing blood sugar.

Read customer reviews of Genteel on Facebook, or you can even watch customers experiences.

My name is Dr. Christopher Jacobs, and I am the CEO and Chief Research Engineer for Genteel. Thank you for considering the purchase of a Genteel Lancing Kit. I promise it will challenge everything you’ve come to believe about a lancing device.
