Where are your sites right now? 👀🖤 These aren’t my favorite spots. I like my sensor on my hip, right below the pant line, and my infusion set on my legs or arms! 🖤

Traveling with T1D can be easy - if you’re prepared and know your rights 👌 Check out my blog post for my traveling tips and let me know your great ideas 💕 I keep my supplies in containers so that they stay clean, and aren’t able to be damaged, different sizes for different lengths of trips. ✈️ For the blog post see the LINK in my BIO 👀

Summer is here! Do you know what that means?! 💕 Pump and CGM sites are VISIBLE 👀 and that’s OK! Don’t be afraid to show your devices👌 Today I was in Heidelberg and saw THREE other T1’s in the wild and it was a magical feeling 💕 So don’t be afraid and don’t feel like you need to hide diabetes! 🎉

What has T1 taught you? 👀 T1 has taught me quite a lot of things, the disease itself related to food, exercise, etc, but also having to constantly problem solve, be proactive, think ahead, foresee things before they arise, and be on top of everything. For that, I am thankful. 💙 Even though this MAY you be a #happydiabeticchallenge is ending, don’t let the positive vibes stop! And thank you to everyone who participated; I always love to see your posts 💕

Guess what day it is! 👀 it’s HUMP day and day 9 of the #happydiabeticchallenge 🐪 Show your blood sugars! Here are mine, but in the quantifiable view. I like seeing the flat line all day, but I’m also a big numbers person. My average SG (sensor glucose) was 87 mg/dL with a deviation of 13 mg/dL 💪 I’m super happy with today! The smaller the deviation, the better! Do you guys prefer to see your graph, or the numbers? 🤔 #humpdaybloodsugar

What motivates you? 👀 Tell me, it’s day 8 of the #happydiabeticchallenge 💙 For me, it’s my husband. Something clicked in me right after we got married in 2016. I knew I couldn’t continue on the destructive path I was on managing my diabetes. Maybe it was because he suffered with me when my blood sugar was on a rollercoaster, maybe it was the extra stress of knowing he is aware of my blood sugar at any given moment, maybe it was the mood swings he witnessed from high and low blood sugars, maybe it’s the fact that if we ever want to have children, I need better control NOW. At the time my A1C was mid 7’s. 😱 Either way, it wasn’t healthy and I’m incredibly happy that I have my diabetes under control now. My last A1C was 5.9% and my average BG is trending around 95 right now, so my next A1C should be SIGNIFICANTLY lower. I am achieving NORMAL blood sugars and I couldn’t be happier or healthier, emotionally AND physically. 💕 So what motivates you? 😊
