  1. Don’t worry about it, the insulin pump will keep your blood sugars on goal.
  2. Shall I make an appointment with our mental health specialist so you can explore your feelings?
  3. Sounds like you could benefit from a healthy eating coaching session?
  4. Lots of people have a tough time eating healthy during the holidays. What was hardest for you?
