I advocate for #insulin4all with @mninsulin4all , a chapter of @t1international . See how you can get involved. ⠀ ⠀ As a community, we are far too silent on the cost of insulin and the impact on our daily lives. We need to stand up and fight for insulin pricing and transparency. ‼️⠀ ⠀ Only after living in Germany did I realize how out of control our healthcare system is. Insulin costs 7x LESS in Germany than it does in the US. High pricing is widely an American issue. We need to stand up. Advocate. Instill change. 💪 ⠀ #t1dawareness #blogger #diabetesblogger #diabetesblog #type1diabetes #t1dblogger #t1dblog #type1diabetic #type1life #diabetesawareness #diabetesadvocate #t1d #insulintransparency #insulinpricing #affordableinsulin #mninsulin4all #mnblogger #minnesotablogger

Happy Valentine's Day my sweet ones 💕⠀ ⠀ Valentine's Day is all about spreading love and passion. So today, I'd like to recognize @t1international for being a shining light for the diabetes community. I'm part of their @mninsulin4all chapter. We have bills currently with the Senate and on March 5th, we're meeting with legislatures at the MN State Capitol. WE ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE. 🙌⠀ ⠀ I would encourage ALL of you to learn more and find out how YOU can make a difference in the US regarding the cost of insulin. T1international is (in my opinion) the best non-profit to support and focus your energies on.⠀ ⠀ As a community, we need to show more passion regarding insulin4all. Period. ‼️⠀ ⠀ P.S. Yes, I know my crafting skills leave much to be desired 🤷‍♀️⠀ ⠀ #t1dawareness #blogger #diabetesblogger #diabetesblog #type1diabetes #t1dblogger #t1dblog #type1diabetic #type1life #diabetesawareness #diabetesadvocate #t1d #diabetes #diabetic #insulin4all #affordableinsulin #passion #advocacy #insulinadvocacy

Hi, my name is Leah and I am really bad at posting things in a timely manner. 💁‍♀️⠀ ⠀ Now that we’ve got that out of the way, let me introduce you to last months @sleektreat box 📦 (tap the photo to see the companies) ⠀ ⠀ I also need to admit that I’ve only tried a few things so far. I tend to hoard these snacks and save them for rainy days 🙈 ⠀ ⠀ That being said, I was pleasantly surprised with @grenadeofficial as it didn’t really spike my blood sugar, despite my intuition. I loved the @crunchyjtc because who doesn’t like cheese? And that’s literally all I’ve tried so far. 😂 It’s not that I don’t want to try the rest, I just have this odd habit of saving goodies for times when I feel like I’ll appreciate them more! You know what I mean? ⠀ What should I try next though? I’ll give an update in my stories! 👍⠀ ⠀ #t1dawareness #blogger #diabetesblogger #diabetesblog #type1diabetes #t1dblogger #t1dblog #type1diabetic #type1life #diabetesawareness #diabetesadvocate #t1d #diabetes #diabetic #typeonegrit #lowcarb #lowcarbsnacks #ketosnacks #sleektreat #lcsnack #mnblogger #minnesotablogger

What are your plans for Valentine’s Day? 💓 I find the entire day a bit overrated, so I’ve actually been ignoring that it’s in just two days 😂 I don’t mind not doing anything, but would love to hear what YOU do! 🎉 ...as I am writing this, I just realized that I’ve been meaning to try a low carb/keto ice cream shop in St. Paul called @luvicecreamllc . Maybe I can convince my husband to go 🙌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #t1dawareness #blogger #t1dblogger #diabetesblog #type1diabetes #type1strong #type1diabetic #type1life #type1awareness #t1d #valentinesdayplans #valentinesday

You've maybe seen me post about @myabetic in my stories, as I've been a bit behind in actually posting about it. But I finally got my hands on the Kerri Tote and I absolutely love it. It is very large, but I love it because it will also hold my laptop for work - which is great when I'm traveling. The front compartment also detaches and can be a cross body for a night out or other short excursions (swipe to the right)! 💕⠀ ⠀ Prior, I was using the Cherise bag and also LOVED it. ⠀ ⠀ I've had the Cherise for about 1.5 years and used it non-stop. It has minimal wear and tear and still looks new, which speaks to the quality of Myabetic bags! 👍⠀ ⠀ Also super cool for the diabetic dudes out there, they now have men's bags! 👨⠀ ⠀ Feel free to use "theinsulintype15" for 15% off your Myabetic order. ⠀ ⠀ I don't receive commission - I just love their products and think you will too! *disclosure: I did receive this bag from Myabetic.⠀ ⠀ #t1dawareness #blogger #diabetesblogger #diabetesblog #type1diabetes #t1dblogger #t1dblog #type1diabetic #type1life #diabetesawareness #diabetesadvocate #t1d #mnblogger #diabetesfashion #diabeticfashion #minnesotablogger #myabetic

I thought it would be helpful to repost this! It’s one of my most read blog posts 🧡 I love chatting about my #lowcarblifestyle , so drop a few comments! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Link to the blog post is in my BIO! ❕ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #Repost @the.insulin.type with @get_repost ・・・ All your questions about low carb have been answered on my new blog post 🧡 PLEASE let me know what you think! And comment if you want me to delve deeper or think I missed something 👌 Link in BIO 👀 also, sharing is caring, share and tag if you enjoyed! 🖤

How has the cost of #insulin impacted your life? 🤷‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I know this is super personal to share, so I understand if you choose not too. However, I also think it’s important that the general public realizes how the cost of insulin (or diabetes supplies) impacts us. And those of us with great insurance could use an eye opener. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So the cost of insulin has impacted my life in many ways: • I nearly didn’t move back to the US from Germany • if I ever lost my job, I wouldn’t know what to do • which leads to the mindset of never being able to leave my job (not that I want to, but it doesn’t even feel like an option) • I’ve developed a true fear of living in the US and picture myself fleeing someday back to Germany, honestly. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The worst part, I know most of these are truly minimal impacts. There are people who go bankrupt or think they can ration but ultimately pass away. So I realize that the impacts of insulin costs upon my life are minimal because of my health insurance, but they do still matter. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I support and advocate with @mninsulin4all which is a state chapter of @t1international . I want to use this post as a way to also highlight why their work is so incredibly important. T1international is constantly advocating and pushing for #insulin4all. There is currently no other organization who does this to the level that they do. They also do not accept any big pharma $$$, so you know they have your best interest at heart. Please support them in any way that you can. 💙

You guys always ask me to post about what I eat, so here’s one of my new favorite snacks! 💓 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I found @flackerscrackers at the @wholefoods near me in St. Paul (bonus - they were even on sale)! 🙌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve actually been able to snack on them without really needing much insulin. This is a win-win because they’re freaking delicious with no blood sugar mess. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I also LOVE supporting local companies, and these are made in Minnesota (just like me, I think, might need to ask my mom 😂). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have you tried these? Let me know if you plan to go grab a few bags! 🙅‍♀️🙆‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #ketosnacks #lowcarblife #lowcarbsnack #t1dawareness #blogger #t1dblogger #diabetesblog #type1diabetes #type1strong #type1diabetic #type1life #type1awareness #t1d #t1diabetes #mnblogger #minnesotablogger
