    I changed to a very low carb diet just over two years ago. I don’t stray from my diet or have big “cheat days” because I genuinely feel so much better with consistent blood sugars.   One thing that I have found very interesting, is that people around me including friends and some of my own…

    Changing everything that you know about food is a challenge. Being a Type 1 Diabetic, I knew what carbs were. It was easy for me to identify them and reduce them. Protein was easy as well. Fats? Inflammatory oils? That was a challenge for me. As a very young girl, I was raised on a…

    Every time my Dexcom CGM alerts that I have low blood sugar, I immediately draw in a deep breath, sigh, then I get an almost immediate text message from my husband who follows my Dexcom alerts with a phone app. “Are you ok? is the alert accurate?” I double-check with my glucose meter… If I…

    I was looking through old photos today and found one from a camping trip from several years ago. I look miserable! I was miserable! I was so obese that I barely fit into my camp chair, my legs and feet were swollen and the skin on my lower legs was dark brown, red and even…

    This week I met with my Cardiologist, the doctor who recommended very low carb to me in the first place. I have seen him several times since I have started this process and he has been very pleased with the weight loss progress and health improvements. This visit was different though. This time when he…

    Our Family loves to dip veggies in creamy dip – ranch dip, blue cheese dip, onion dip, herb dip, spicy chipotle dip.  Let’s be honest, low carb vegetables are so much easier to eat when they have that little bit of creamy goodness sitting on top of them.   My personal favorite dressing recipe was…

    I am amazed at how many people hear my story and say that they could never do it. “I can’t cut the carbs”, “It just isn’t worth it” or “it is too hard to keep track”, I hear it all the time. Well, it really depends on how bad you want it.  Are you struggling…

    128 Lbs Down with Keto Two years ago, my body was incredibly inflamed, I could barely function, I was very sick and my health was deteriorating rapidly. Today, thanks to following a low carb ketogenic diet, my health is improving daily, inflammation markers are all normal, blood glucose numbers are fantastic, and as of today…

    I am embarrassed to say that I don’t know as much about insulin as I should.  As a Type 1 Diabetic, my life depends on insulin 24 hours a day and yet I realize that I know only the basics about the hormone that controls my life.  The more I study about it, the more…
