January Costco finds for people with diabetes! It’s a new year, so let’s start the blood sugars off right with some great options! 1. Crisp power protein pretzels - I just can’t get enough of these. 15g of protein per serving, 3g of net carbs, no blood sugar impact, and I swear that flavor profile is THE BEST 2. Wilde protein chips - they’re chicken based, and the Buffalo flavor is out of this world. They also have <5g of carbs per serving so no blood sugar impact 3. Nu trail granola - this flavor is the best, and the total carbs again are <6g. Minimal blood sugar impact and great for a snack on the go 4. Chicken meatballs - great as a side, an app, a main course, heavy on protein, minimal carbs, and super easy to prep for lazy meals Which of these are on your list, and should I do another part in the series? #diabeteseducation #diabetesdiet #typeonediabetes #insulindependent #bloodsugarmanagement #t1dlookslikeme

Alcohol and blood sugars - what to look out for this NYE! It’s time to ring in the new year of 2025 (what a year it has BEEN!) But, that also may mean that you are having a drink (or two, or three, or six….) So you’ve gotta know what this will mean for your blood sugars so you can be SAFE tomorrow! 
Here’s a couple things your care team SHOULD have taught you: #1. Beer and wine may RAISE your blood sugar. Liquor likely DROPS your blood sugar. Mixed drinks can do BOTH…. So you’ve GOT to be careful on how you dose - alcohol kicks in hours later (like fat and protein) but can cause the bottom to fall out and your number to tank. #2. If you do go dangerously low when drinking, you CANNOT use glucagon to save yourself.  Your liver is too busy detoxifying alcohol, and it won’t release stored glucose…meaning you need ORAL carbs. This could be a MUCH more in depth topic, but at the very least, I wanted to give a little insight so you are SAFE. If your care team didn’t teach you these things….time for a possible change 😉 #diabeteseducation #type1diabetic #insulindependent #t1dlookslikeme #bloodsugar #glucagon

Probably our 4th failed pod with this new prescription 😒 #type1diabetes #omnipod #insulindependent #t1d #diabetic #type1 #t1dmom #fyp

POV: When your blood sugar is high I don’t know about you, but I want nothing to do with anybody else, any interaction, anything at all…all I want to do is nap. Do you have a similar type of experience? #diabetestype1 #diabetesproblems #t1dlookslikeme #insulindependent #highbloodsugar

Aldi is a GREAT place for finding new snacks and new meal options. Here are 4 finds that you will definitely appreciate and so will your blood sugars. #1. Zucchini - a vitamin and mineral powerhouse that’s loaded with fiber, low in carbs, and you can air fry it! #2. Zero sugar jerky - no carbs, great source of protein, super portable, and tastes amazing! #3. Cheese fries - they’re just cheese! Great source of protein and for stabilizing blood sugars #4. Bone broth - a great way to sneak protein into recipes, soups, and more, and its collagen, so something people with diabetes absolutely need, and it’s a great value here! Let me know what I missed and if you want another part in the grocery series! #diabetesfood #typeonediabetes #insulindependent #t1dlookslikeme #bloodsugarmanagement #diabetic

Diabetes sometimes just sucks. In the past week I have had:
 💉4 failed sites 💉3 nasty highs 💉2 failed sensors 💉 a syringe that literally exploded 200 units of insulin all over the bathroom (Like the bathroom still smells like insulin - it’s rank) You almost have to laugh at that level of ridiculously consecutively. As someone who works in the field professionally and has lived with this for over 25 years myself, the biggest thing is to remind yourself that diabetes is not fun. But, no one is perfect. This will happen to everyone at some point. The goal is to minimize the amount of time it does happen and maximize the number of times you are winning. Ultimately, the key is to never give up on it and to never give up on yourself. No matter how dire the situation may seem, you CAN and WILL succeed and get through it. Plus, there’s an amazing community to help you do that and I’ve got your back. #typeonediabetes #t1dlookslikeme #highbloodsugar #insulindependent #diabeteslife

I wish my son liked #beefjerky or #beefsticks because we keep #kosher, so while we don’t make him wait as long after eating meat to eat dairy, he can’t eat #cheesesticks right after his chicken nuggets for example. #t1dawareness #t1dmom #t1dmomlife #type1diabetes #type1warrior #t1dkid #typeonediabetes #type1diabetescheck #type1mom #zerocarb #insulindependent @Jewel-Osco

I had not eaten at White Castle since before I had diabetes, but if you need a quick snack, here’s the most blood sugar friendly options: 1. The original slider - 7g fat, 16g carbs,, 6g protein - solid snack option or low snack option to correct it with protein/fat. 2. Crispy chicken with cheese -  10g fat, 22g carbs, 11g protein. Could pitch half the bun for a lower carb option. 3. For breakfast - the slider with egg & cheese - 13g fat, 15g carbs, 10g protein. Not the best, but you could certainly do worse.  Whats your go to White Castle order? We dont have these in Florida.  #diabeteslife #diabeteseducation #typeonediabetes #t1diabetic #insulindependent

POV: types of patients living with diabetes As registered dietitians, diabetes educators, and people that live with diabetes ourselves, Kyra and I have the pleasure of working with people living with diabetes on a daily basis to improve blood sugars, etc. Here’s a bunch of the different types of patients that we see. Which type of patient are you? #diabetesawareness #diabeteseducator #type1diabetes #diabeteslife #bloodsugarmanagement #insulindependent

“I just can’t figure out my diabetes.” If you have felt helpless with your diabetes, just know that you are not alone. Sara came to us after 26(!) years of living with diabetes feeling completely lost. Most notably: 💉high blood sugars after every meal (lord forbid she had a restaurant meal) 💉exercise was a nightmare with low blood sugars 💉she felt ZERO support from her care team After 26 years it can seem really hopeless and she felt like nothing could change so this was her last big hope… …and boy did things get better. She’s now upset when she averages in the 130s instead of the 120s.  She’s nailing restaurant meals when she chooses to go out to eat, low blood sugars have evaporated from exercise, and she’s even tamed pizza meals, the nightmare of most people with diabetes. So if she can do it after 26 years of living with diabetes, what’s stopping you? #diabeteseducation #typeonediabetes #t1dlookslikeme #diabeteslife #insulindependent

When you treat a fake high blood sugar and tank after 😒 I love continuous glucose monitors as much as anybody else, but understand they are not perfect and you still need to have a system of checks and balances available. This situation almost happened to me last week. I had what appeared to be a stubborn blood sugar around 230 and I had done everything to help bring it down… …and I finally decided to do a finger stick before taking an additional correction and potentially yanking my site. Lo and behold my CGM was off on its reading by over 50 points. 
If you feel fine there’s likely a reason why. Has this happened to you? #diabetesdietitian #typeonediabetes #highbloodsugar #type1diabetic #insulindependent

Everyone sets New Year’s resolutions this time of year. I’m going to make mine real easy to get some momentum going. I’m going to actually change my lancet 😂😂 We’re supposed to actually change them every single time we prick our fingers…. But how many of us actually do that? This is a great, achievable goal to start the year off on the right foot 🔥🎉 #type1diabetes #insulindependent #diabetestype1 #diabeteshumor #bloodsugar

A sad day but it needs to be said…I appreciate you #diabetesdietitian #insulindependent #diabeteseducation #type1diabetes #type2diabetes
