Dinner is SERVED!
✨ And, IT was all THROWN together ✅
Eating HEALTHY doesn’t mean it needs to be time consuming.
It doesn’t mean it HAS to be stressful.
It doesn’t mean it can’t be prepackaged.
There are plenty of HEALTHY CONVENIENT ready to eat items!
We just ADD to them ✅

No meal entry entered for the both of us.
It contains VERY little carbs, and we’ve been active.

Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad 🥗
Caesar salad kit- romaine lettuce, shredded parmesan cheese, dressing, and topped with zesty herb seasoning.
Grilled chicken breast.
Shredded carrots🥕
Strawberries 🍓

DONE and DOABLE ✅
And, he’s off to go fishing with Wade.

WAY better than a wallet 😂
✨ Blood glucose meters hold a lot!
Carrying diabetes supplies around is often seen as a burden, but we think they’re quite useful.
This is his go to for short rides, and going out with friends.
The bare minimum is all that’s needed!
He just throws his “blood tester” and phone in his pocket ✅
• Glucose gel
• Pre-filled syringes
• Lancet
• Glucose tabs
• Tylenol/Ibuprofen
• Cash

When we’re out together, he just throws it in my purse.
He usually does NOT take this much cash, we were headed to Scheels for fishing gear 🎣

✨ Diabetes is ALL about your PERSPECTIVE.

How do your kids carry their supplies when they’re out with friends?!
Sling bag?
Purse?
Pocket?

Also, .us is our favorite meter brand!

✨ Oh, SO easy, Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars!
We have zero self control over here when it comes to peanut butter 🤣
It makes it that much worse, that this is the easiest “recipe” EVER.

Brace yourselves, you’re going to fall in love.

✨ What you’ll need-
Filling-
• 1 c peanut butter- just nuts.
• 1 c almond flour
• 1/4 c keto honey or liquid allulose- optional!
MIX together.
Add the peanut butter filling to a 8x8 glass dish, and smash it down evenly ✅

Topping-
• 1 c milk chocolate chips-
• 2 tsp coconut oil
• 1/2 c peanut butter
MELT together.
Pour it over the peanut butter filling in the dish.
Freeze for at least 1 hour ✅
Cut and ENJOY!

We keep them frozen.
They are DELICIOUS 😋

We’ve also added-
Strawberry or banana extract to the topping- about a 1/2 tsp.

1/2 c protein powder to the filling.

These are SO cute with festive sprinkles too 🤗

✨ A NUTRITIOUS meal for ANYONE!
Especially, for a T1.

It has a little bit of everything!
And, it’s FULL of PROTEIN ✅
Oh wait, there’s no carbs.
INCORRECT.
It does contain carbs.
• Carbs that are EASILY managed.
• Carbs that do not cause spikes.
• Carbs that provide CALM numbers.
✨ SMALL quantities of HEALTHY carbs is DOABLE.

Dinner!
We’re both not entering a meal entry, we’ve been active.
Grilled steak and cod.
Cheesy broccoli- cheddar cheese, cream cheese, garlic, and butter 🥦
Strawberries and cherries 🍓🍒

THAT’S IT 🥳
It’s not HARD, it’s DIFFERENT.

22/07/2025

✨ COSTCO food haul ✅
Why does summer always fly by?!
How does school start in less than a month?!
“Don’t even speak of such things” 🤣
- I know, more lunch making 😆

He LOVED the lemon cake 🍋 last time!
So, he’s trying the fruity this time.
He’s not a big fan of overly sweet cereal.
For breakfast he’s been pairing a small bowl of cereal with 3 scrambled eggs, some avocado, and a cheese quesadilla- wrap.
It’s become one of his favorites.

That will be a great option for school mornings.
It’s QUICK and HEALTHY 🥳

Just a variety of REAL food!
A little bit of everything.
🍓🥚🥬🍇🧀🍒🥑🐟🍎

A dumb dinner IDEA!
✨ Do NOT over complicate meals.
ESPECIALLY, if you’re feeding kids!
This was thrown together in under 10 minutes.

AND…
It’s REAL FOOD.

• Ground turkey
• Shredded cheese
• Avocado 🥑
• Tomatoes 🍅
• Blueberries 🫐

He added sour cream and ranch dressing.

TA-FREAKIN-DA 🥳
Dinner is served ✅

We both have been extremely active- no meal entry entered.
We always take into consideration our activity level when dosing.
He’s going riding and fishing, again.
“I got to get that bass” 😆

We heard from Wade!
There’s been very little communication, but he’s on his way home 🥳

17/07/2025

✨ It’s NOT a big deal ✅
He took off early, and all on his own to go fishing 🎣
ANY parent would be proud.
ANY T1 parent would be even PROUDER.
BUT, mentioning…
That his blood sugar was in the 80’s.
And…
He took a low carb lunch.
Can quickly turn into a negative aspect for some.

WHY???

His friends are 80.
His siblings are 80.
Yours is 80.
So WHY not him???
Because, he’s LABELED “diabetic”
He should be following the “standard of care”
Have rollercoaster numbers, hate diabetes, and feel like s**t?

Wouldn’t having diabetes be a bigger MOTIVATING factor to be 80?
To FEEL good?
To PREVENT complications?

Low carb CALMS diabetes.
It CALMS the up and down numbers.
It CALMS the DRAMATIC emotional toll.

His lunch appears completely “normal”
Changed the bread and the “juice”
WHAT’S the big deal?

A child might complain about the bread?
Ok.
Then eat your peanut butter on a spoon.
I simply don’t care.
It’s NOT a big deal.
An endo says the child needs carbs to grow?
Lies and UNEDUCATED.

It’s NOT a big deal.
✨ CHANGE their food, change their LIFE.

Chicken salad- canned chicken, pickle seasoning, dijon mustard, mayo, and banana peppers.
Cheese and blueberries.
sourdough bread with peanut butter and keto honey.
zero sugar strawberry mango “juice”
50g PROTEIN ✅
SO EASY 😋

These containers are the best!
Great price too ✅

✨ Let’s discuss the T1 BARBIE 💙
She’s supposed to represent millions of people living with Type 1 Diabetes.
She’s something that’s…
• Fun.
• Relatable.
• Shares their same disease.
• Shows a child that they do NOT need to hide behind their devices.
• Shows them to wear it all proudly, and let the world know you have T1.
✨ EDUCATION and AWARENESS in this world IS CRUCIAL for T1D.

There’s SO many uneducated a$$hats.
It’s just reality.
Those individuals will never fully comprehend TYPE 1 until it slaps them in the face.
Until, it’s them.
Or, their child.

BUT…
There’s SO much POSITIVITY too!
We think it’s FABULOUS!
There definitely needs to be a Ken with a fishing pole and sling bag 😆

As for her graph and 130…
Is it great?
No.
We DON’T settle for that.
We WON’T settle for that.
I would be failing him.
I would be failing his body.
I would be failing his wellbeing.
I know how 130 feels.
I know how that graph feels.
There’s NO reason why he should FEEL that EVERY single day.
Why would I allow that?

Eating low carb provides SUCCESS.
Eating low carb allows him to FEEL AMAZING.
Eating low carb gives his body a CHANCE to thrive NORMALLY.
Eating low carb provides CALM numbers.
There IS an EASIER way, and it’s POSSIBLE.

Parents, I SEE you.
Keep seeking ACCURATE information.
FOLLOW your instincts.
Your child will THANK YOU one day.

✨ CHANGE their food, change their LIFE.

Him trying to smell 😆

✨ Just a big HEALTHY salad for lunch!
Wade has been deployed to assist with the devastating floods that have happened recently.
We never know how long he’s going to be gone for- it could be days, weeks, or even a month.
The kids were such good helpers when they were little- trying their best to pitch in.
BUT…
It’s SO much easier now that they are older!
They go and pick up food instead of me making all the meals 🤣
We’re not going to be cooking much over here 😆
That doesn’t mean we eat crap food though!
Leftovers are so CONVENIENT!
We grilled a ton of steaks, so steaks it is ✅

Ate at 11:15am
No meal entry
He gave 0.80
I gave 1 unit
We’ve been active ☀️
Trio will dose as needed, when needed.

Steak Salad 🥗
Steak, shredded cheese, avocado, carrots, grapes, strawberries, and there is spinach under there somewhere!
Sprinkled with steak seasoning, and then drizzled with ranch dressing.
Don’t let the pretty picture fool you, he dumped more ranch on it and stirred it all together 😂

They had a fishing trip planned for today, but he got to deep clean his room instead 😂

“You have to go?”
Wade- “No, I get to go”
Stay SAFE Wade, and WE love you!

ANYONE feeling a little low 😆
✨ Bottle Caps bought in bulk 🍒🍊🍇
A SMALL PRECISE bump up in numbers is all it takes ✅
It’s as EASY as that!
• No juice boxes
• No fruit snacks
• No soda pop
• No food

There’s NO reason to deal with spikes from low treatments.
NONE.
Treating lows with the “recommended” 15g is FAILING diabetics.
ESPECIALLY, children.
15g is WAY too much.
That begins a VICIOUS cycle…
A spike, a correction, then another low.
SO dramatic and unnecessary.

• TREAT the low WISELY.
• Get the job DONE.
• Move ON.

Bought on Amazon!
10 for $13
Watch the price!
I’ve paid between $12-$17.

We also use Sweet Tarts, but they are harder to chew.
Smarties are also an excellent option.

✨ BOATING bag 💦
He takes ONE bag…
And…
ONE bag only ✅
Everything he needs, is in ONE place.
Need a sensor?
Want a cookie?
It’s all in ONE place.

The “black bag” goes with him in the boat ✅
Keeping all the supplies and snacks cold and dry is top PRIORITY.
It’s put into a tupperware then in the black bag.
Then 2 ziplock bags full of ice packs inside, and they stay cold all day.
At night, we take them to the front desk and they freeze them, and we pick them up in the morning.
Don’t be afraid to ask!
We’ve never had an issue with any hotel!

SIMPLE and EFFICIENT ✅

It’s the BEST bag!
Titan, by Arctic Zone.
It’s insulated, has pockets, and a strap for carrying.
It’s the perfect size!
Costco for the WIN 🥳

✨ Endo APPOINTMENT!
“Can we go fishing after if my A1c is good?”
Proceeds to load up his fishing gear 😂
It’s REMARKABLE that he’s SO confident that it will be.

“High achievers, like 1%”
Stated by his endo.
No, our motto at home-
If you’re doing it, do it RIGHT the first time.

A1c- 5.0 🥳
His endo GETS it.
“You’re growing beautifully, I’m so proud of you”
She truly understands that NORMAL numbers are IMPERATIVE to his immediate health, and for his future.
We are COMPLETELY honest with her.
Why would we let her believe that his SUCCESS is from the “standard of care” that FAILS so many.
That would NOT be productive.
NOTHING would change for diabetics.
PROGRESS needs to be made.
Diabetics DESERVE better.

ANYONE can successfully DOMINATE diabetes.
ANYONE.
• ELIMINATE the carbs.
• DILUTE insulin for children.
• Stuff them full of PROTEIN.
• Target NORMAL numbers.
✨ QUESTION and RETHINK the advice you’ve been told.
That advice does NOT lead to an EASY road of success.
Do NOT make diabetes more complicated than it needs to be.

He’s growing so much!
He still can’t beat me at an arm wrestle though 🤣
He’s definitely getting stronger- I’ll have to up my game at this point.

- What did you think of your appointment?
“I caught some good bass, and my blood is good” 😂
Obviously, diabetes does NOT need to be a negative aspect in a teens world.
So, DON’T make it one.
Just because they are a “teen” does NOT mean they don’t care.

It’s not HARD, it’s DIFFERENT 👊🏼

Keep it up BIG DAWG.
The DEDICATION you have towards your health is INCREDIBLE.

Last photo- he wouldn’t let go of me until I said yes to fishing 🤣
