Sometimes with diabetes, things feel RANDOM! And its annoying. frustrating. makes you want to pull your hair out.

But I find that when I see a pattern that feels random and instead get curious, I'm able to usually find some root cause to what's happening!

In this episode I walk through 3 recent patterns I've noticed that felt random, but ended up having a reason. I go through examples about:

• Running and blood sugars
• My period and insulin needs
• And how the food I was eating impacted my time in range.

Food-centered events like barbecues, potlucks, and buffets can feel so overwhelming with T1D.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the three strategies that can help you approach these events with more confidence, less stress, and (hopefully) more in-range blood sugars.

We'll talk through practical tools you can implement TODAY like how to use a plate to your advantage, why it’s not always about perfection, and how your everyday relationship with food plays a bigger role than you think.

Whether it’s the 4th of July, a weekend at the lake, or a simple summer dinner with friends, you deserve to enjoy the food and feel good in your body.

Mentioned in this episode:

• Episode 4: How your relationship with food affects diabetes management

In this episode, Kirby shares her experience with egg freezing with T1D. We chat through the emotional journey, self-advocacy, navigating the medications and doctor's appointments, and what she wish she would have done differently.
