Hiking and blood sugars 🏃‍♀️ I had steady blood sugars for my entire 10km hike today. For that result, I’d like to thank my breakfast, a bacon cheese omelet. Minimal carbs, but lots of protein kept me full and my blood sugars flat! 💉 Instead of focusing on my blood sugar, I focused on the hike and those with me 🖤 I could only do that because of the food I CHOOSE to eat. 👌

Summer is here and that means my sensor adhesive irritation is visible for everyone to see. ☀️ It doesn’t bother me if people see it, I could care less. It just sucks that it is really painful to the touch. I think I’m going to switch adhesive because this might turn into a light scar. 😪 Does anyone else have issues with the Medtronic adhesive?

Peanut Butter Low Carb Ice Cream 🥜🍨 All the yumm without the BG spike 👌 it’s really easy to make and tastes delicious. I melted dark chocolate and poured that over the top with chopped peanuts. 🥜 The recipe is pinned to my Pinterest on the LC desserts board, link in BIO! Are you going to try it? 👀

Here’s your reminder that achieving normal blood sugars IS possible. Don’t let anyone ever tell you differently 💙

Feet to Floor. 👟 Do you experience it? Is it consistent? It has been wrecking havoc on my morning blood sugars lately. What is it? A glucose rise directly after waking up, NOT dawn phenomenon which happens in the early morning hours while still sleeping. I woke up today with a 92mg/dL blood sugar, and 30-40 minutes later with no food, I spiked to 120 mg/dL. There’s no reason for it, besides that it’s a phenomenon that occurs when one physically wakes, like the liver is dumping some glucose stores. I’ve noticed it tends to happen when I to stay up late (equating in not enough sleep). But my FTF is never consistent; therefore, extremely hard to act on until it’s already spiking. I wrote a blog post about it, if you want to read more 👌 link in my BIO 👀

Let’s talk about the cost of insulin. 💉 In this order: 1️⃣ where are you from? 2️⃣ out of pocket cost (no insurance). 3️⃣ cost WITH insurance. ➖ I’ve received so many messages about this, and thought it would be helpful to let EVERYONE voice their costs. It helps create a true picture of the disparity among the developed nations, the US, I’m talking about you. But see for yourself! Leave your comments and read about other countries! 👀
