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. This was my morning blood sugar and Dex was reading 78! 🙌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ More on how to extend sensors is on my blog, link in bio ➡️➡️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #dexcom #type1diabetic #t1d #t1dblog #diabetesblog #diabetesblogger #mnblog #mnblogger #dexcomg6 #diabetestechnology

My current FAV: @thesolacompany products. I just tried their newest granola flavor, blueberry cinnamon, and it is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m also obsessed with their bread 🍞. I make French toast out of it, pizza, and hot sandwiches. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ All of their products are low glycemic, so they do not raise blood sugar quickly. I still take insulin for the minimal carbs and mostly for the protein! 🙌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m sharing my opinion on their products because I personally buy them and enjoy them! I’m not sponsored or paid to share 🥰 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #mnblog #mnblogger #solagranola #lowcarbgranola #ketogranola #diabetesblog #diabetesblogger #type1diabetes #type1grit #type1fit #type1food #t1d #t1dblog #t1dstrong

Oh you know, just some blood in my syringe. This happens fairly often for me, and usually only when I inject in my stomach. Anyone else? 🤷‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #t1dawareness #blogger #t1dblogger #diabetesblog #type1diabetes #type1strong #type1diabetic #type1life #type1awareness #t1d #t1diabetes #diabetic #diabetes #t1diabetic #type1 #mnblogger #minnesotablogger #syringe

Beyond Diabetes. Day 9 of the #happydiabeticchallenge 💕⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ WE ARE ALL MORE THAN OUR DISEASE. 🙌 agree?⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Type 1 diabetes can rule our life if we let it. It's so important to remember that we are more than our disease, and to not let it control us. (Of course, the better control that we have, the less that diabetes can impact us, from my own experience.)⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Anyway, I am a traveler. Wanderer. Advocate of many types. Bike lover. Independent. Believer in education & opportunity. Athlete. Wife. Daughter. Sister. Aunt. Cousin. SO MANY THINGS THAT I CANNOT POSSIBLE TELL YOU EVERYTHING. 💁‍♀️📍🚲📚⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ I share a lot of diabetes related content on my instagram, but I often fail to show who I am as a person, beyond diabetes. I vow to change that! I just need to find a perfect balance. Beyond diabetes, I am someone who believes in data privacy and getting off my damn phone, so this will be a challenge. 💪⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #t1dawareness #blogger #diabetesblogger #diabetesblog #type1diabetes #t1dblogger #t1dblog #type1diabetic #type1life #diabetesawareness #diabetesadvocate #t1d #diabetes #diabetic #typeonegrit #happydiabetic #beyonddiabetes #mnblog #minnesotablog #mnblogger

TELL ME: What are your diabetes goals? 👀 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let me know below! By sharing and writing down your goals, you’re more likely to achieve them! 💪 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Make them SMART. Specific. Measurable. Attainable. Relevant. Timely. 📚 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How will you achieve your goals? I’ve written about my tips and tricks in my new blog post! (LINK IN MY BIO!) These tips helped me lower my A1C down to 5.2% (I included a lot more than just eating low carb)! Let me know what tips you have too! 💓 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I hope the #happydiabeticchallenge has helped you build on the specifics that you were maybe missing before, like: #support , #dedication , #motivation , #energy , etc! Use these goals to continue moving forward 🎉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ UPDATE: I cheated. This is the same goal that I set last November, but it’s still relevant. This is my lifelong goal. So far, my A1C has been 5.5 or under for over a year 🥳

What motivates you? 💕⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ MAY you be a #happydiabeticchallenge day 7! 🙌⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ This picture speaks a thousands words for what motivates me. My husband pushes me forward in everything that I do. Sappy, but true. I want to be my best for him, and I've grown to realize that taking care of my diabetes is the best thing that I can do to make sure that our relationship is strong. 💍⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ When I didn't take care of myself, I was more irritable, snappy, and full of mood swings. I knew I had to change my diabetes management style, for me, for him, and our future. Finally realizing that diabetes impacts my relationships was a huge eye opener for me, and it's ultimately what keeps me going.👫⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #t1dawareness #blogger #diabetesblogger #diabetesblog #type1diabetes #t1dblogger #t1dblog #type1diabetic #type1life #diabetesawareness #diabetesadvocate #t1d #diabetes #diabetic #typeonegrit #happydiabetic #mnblog #mnblogger #motivation #weddingpicture
