Holidays are dynamic situations, and our Type 1 Diabetes management strategies should reflect that.

These are the three corrective measures I had to take to take to avoid constant hypoglycemias while hiking around the beauties of Bali, Indonesia.

Intercontinental trips are not easy to manage as a type 1 diabetic.

To enjoy my trip, I knew I had to plan it carefully. So I listed down the 5 main challenges related to Type 1 Diabetes that I could encounter, and developed a plan for each.

This allowed me to keep my insulin sensitivity and blood sugars intact despite massive changes in routines, a circadian clock to resettle and some jet-lag.

I am always going to respect all the work doctors do to help us.

But with T1 Diabetes, sometimes real life experience is a much more effective teacher.

When it comes to insulin strategies and timing, I have learned that doctor's advice was not all that great after all, and that there were nuances that only living with the disease 24/7 could teach me.

Here are 3 incredibly effective insulin strategies I have learned living in the trenches of life with T1 Diabetes!

Managing Type 1 Diabetes felt like an insurmountable challenge at the beginning. It is not.

And everyone (you and I included) can THRIVE as T1s. We just need to know the right strings to "pull".

These 7 "strings" I wish I had known about 15 years ago changed everything for me:

There is a false myth that diabetics aren’t allowed anything sweet.

As a Type 1 Diabetic, I wholeheartedly disagree.

Let me share why, and how I reversed my insulin resistance, improved my time in range and achieved blood glucose stability by consuming whole carbohydrates ad libitum.

Running is how I control my blood sugars, how I boost my insulin sensitivity and a great weapon to reduce insulin resistance.

So here are the 5 tips that transformed me from chronically injured runner to chronically injury-free marathoner, and that you can apply TODAY to become an injury free runner!

42 (and more) variables can affect our blood glucose even day, eat any time. It can feel like a lot.

But as we know these variables and their impact, we can learn how to manipulate them to our advantage to keep our blood glucose stable and preserve our time in range.

Let’s unpack this!

Here’s everything you need to know and do to track you carbohydrates and adjust your insulin intake at every meal! [With Surprise At The End]

Whole foods, insulin timing, movement snacks, hydration and journaling are only some of the ten simple tricks that have helped me stabilize my blood sugar and preserve my time in range while carb loading with type 1 diabetes. Have a look at the rest of the list and let me know your experience!

How many times have I set the intention to improve my blood glucose management and reverse my insulin resistance, listed the steps required, and then failed, at least partially.

Type 1 Diabetes management is an art of practice and consistency. Those who master type 1 diabetes are able to stick to the right choices and actions day after day, over long periods of time.

I always reflect on my failures, and always discover that the reason behind me is simple: I knew what to do, I just didn’t do it, or didn’t do it well enough.
