I know the exact panic of a midnight Dexcom failure or an insulin pen running dry. When my 13 year old son was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, we hit the same exhausting road blocks you do. Even though I managed a retail pharmacy, we were running out of insulin before our refill too soon dates. It was infuriating.

When I dug into the data, I found the problem: the days' supply calculation on my doctor's prescription didn't match my son's actual sliding scale and correction factors. The system was failing him before the box even hit the counter. 

That's when I realized: if a pharmacy operations manager is struggling to get life-saving supplies, how is everyone else surviving?

I didn't just fix my son's files. I started auditing poorly written scripts, educating local prescribers on prior authorization triggers, and training pharmacy teams across my district to properly calculate Type 1 Diabetes quantities.
