Presenting my dex and my dex tan line from a week ago. This is my FAV place to wear sensors in the summer. I don’t get crazy tan lines, it hides easily under my swimsuit, and it is just as accurate as any other spot I’ve used. ☀️ I don’t hide my dex because others may see it, I hide it to protect it from the sun. But either way, society makes us believe that we need to be perfect and we can’t have a single imperfection. Do people stare when they see something attached to me? Yup. Do I care? Nope. 🙌 But I will admit, I made my husband take about 20 pictures before I felt like one was Instagram worthy. Either my legs looked too big, I had 50 chins, etc... but that’s all quatsch. I’m working on loving every inch of myself. Are you? 🤷‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #t1dawareness #t1dblogger #diabetesblog #type1diabetes #type1strong #type1diabetic #type1life #type1awareness #t1d #t1diabetes #diabetic #diabetes #t1diabetic #type1 #mnblog #mnblogger #herbolzheim #t1dlookslikeme #diabetestanlines

Today in my stories, I shared which @myabetic bag will accompany me on my trip to Germany.🇩🇪 ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ There are two major factors that I consider when picking out a purse for traveling: the security of the bag and how easy it is to travel with. 👜⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ I am going to use the gray purse (Cherise cross body) because it has zippers for every compartment (making it hard to steal things out of), and because it is so easy to just sling across my body, especially considering traveling with other bags!⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ I love the other Myabetic bags, but the Cherise is much easier to use when traveling! 🥰⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Feel free to use the code "theinsulintype15" to save 15% on your @myabetic order! I am NOT compensated for this. 🙌⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #t1dawareness #blogger #diabetesblogger #diabetesblog #type1diabetes #t1dblogger #t1dblog #type1diabetic #type1life #diabetesawareness #diabetesadvocate #t1d #diabetes #diabetic #typeonegrit #myabetic #t1dtravel #traveleurope #travelgermany

🍩NATIONAL DOUGHNUT DAY 🍩 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @questnutrition makes a chocolate sprinkled doughnut protein bar, so this is obviously what I’ll be eating to enjoy today 🥳 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ...IDK what I was expecting, but it honestly does taste like a doughnut 🙌 Obv it’s low carb 🤩 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #onaquest #questsquad #ad #nationaldoughnutday #doughnuts #lowcarbdoughnuts #mnblogger #minnesotablogger #t1dlookslikeme #t1dblog #t1diabetes

Dental Hygiene 🦷⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ I had my first dental cleaning since being back in the US. I must say, it feels like they assaulted my mouth - it HURTS!🥺⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Thankfully though, everything is spic'n'span with no issues or concerns. 🥳⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ In the past, each time I went to the dentist office, there was a small cavity or something to be concerned about. Nothing major, but nothing to call mom about.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ But since I've been eating low carb, I have had ZERO issues. I don't think I magically changed my oral hygiene routine. I attribute my dental health to the food that I eat (lack of sugar and nutrient deficient carbohydrates). ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ So besides normal blood sugars, a non-diabetic A1C, mental clarity, and overall feeling my best, I'm going to add great oral hygiene to the list of benefits that follow eating such a healthy, balanced lifestyle (refusing to use the word diet).⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #dentalhygiene #teeth #dentistoffice #t1dawareness #blogger #diabetesblogger #diabetesblog #type1diabetes #t1dblogger #t1dblog #type1diabetic #type1life #diabetesawareness #diabetesadvocate #t1d #diabetes #diabetic #typeonegrit #mnblog #mnblogger

Guys! I finally tried @questnutrition protein pizza. They have a new flavor, Spinach and Mushroom 🍄 Their crust is primarily made of mozzarella, so there’s very little impact on blood sugar 🙌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This was the first time I’ve tried their pizza and the flavor was OUT OF THIS WORLD! Very mushroom-y! So if you’re not a fan, try another flavor. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Anyway, I’m always on the lookout for products that have clean ingredients that don’t raise blood sugar. This will be added to my short list of good products 🥳 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ PLZ double tap so that I know the awkward @target pizza aisle selfie was worth it 😂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #questpizzaspinach #onaquest #questsquad #ad #ketopizza #lowcarbpizza #lcpizza #t1d #diabetesblogger #diabetesblog #mnblog #mnblogger

This vial of insulin lasted just shy of 2 months for me! 💉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In the world of #insulin4all advocacy, my least favorite question is, “so how long does a vial last?” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s impossible to say what each of us needs per month. What I need is not what others need. Some people use multiple vials per month, and others like me only use 1 vial every two months. Neither is right or wrong. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So I’m curious, if you’re willing to share, how long does 1 vial last for you? 🤷‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #t1d #type1diabetic #diabetesblogger #t1dblog #t1dblogger #diabetesblog #mninsulin4all #makeinsulinaffordable #novolog #novorapid #insulin #t1dlookslikeme #t1dawareness

Meter check ✅ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My Dexcom is on day 26, so I’ve been checking for accuracy more than usual.
