GNL Guides
Build your foundations first. Then follow your curiosity.
When our daughter was diagnosed, we were handed a folder, a leaflet, and a clinic date six weeks out. Everything we needed to know was in there somewhere, and none of it was where we needed it. The guides on this page are what we wished we had then: foundations to stand on, a way to follow the one question on our mind, the tools we use ourselves with our own family.

1. Build your foundations first
Before the advanced reading, before the device choice, before the optimiser ladders, there is the required starting point. Safety, principles, baseline competence. We teach this first because everything else rests on it.
2. Follow your curiosity
Twelve guides for the day-to-day. Pick the one closest to the question on your mind. Mealtimes, exercise, sleep, the night before, the morning after. The reader who lands here already knows the work; the guides give it shape.

3. Life Cycle
The same physiology, different ages and bodies. A four-year-old, a teenager, an adult on shift work, a woman through her cycle, an older adult on multiple medications. The guides change shape with the reader.
4. Technology and Medications
Choose the tools. Then learn them. The guides cover the editorial depth; the selectors match the tool to the person sitting in front of you.

Selectors
You name the situation; you pick three priorities from eight; the algorithm surfaces the top three options for the conversation you are about to have with your diabetes team.
5. Master the evidence
Read a research study like Goldacre. Read the frontier like Pemberton. The four guides here take you from how the field tests itself to where the field is going next: the prevention work, the staging language, the insulins arriving in the next five years.
Foundations first, always. Cards two to five reward a reader who has done card one. The order on this page is the order we teach, the order we use ourselves, and the order we recommend to anyone who asks. Skip the foundations and the rest of the guides ask more of you than they give back.
