About This Episode

The holidays are here, and let’s be real—weight gain is on a lot of our minds! In this episode, I’m talking about the common mistakes we make that can lead to holiday weight gain; like bingeing after a year of restricting, ditching your workout routine, or letting blood sugar management slip. But don’t worry—I’m also sharing simple (and realistic) ways to flip these habits and stay on track through the silly season and feel good in your body.

About This Episode

Low blood sugars can send our will-power for eating healthy out the window! Trying to control your eating when you're hypo can be extremely challenging, but there are some things we can do to keep those hunger cravings at bay and avoid eating the entire kitchen every time you go low. I talk about some of these strategies in this episode, and also discuss how we can create a feeling of 'safety' during those super scary extreme lows that happen on occasion.

About This Episode

Let's be honest, Christmas has a lot to do with carbs! Most Christmas foods are high carb, high fat, and therefore Christmas can be really anxiety-inducing for us type 1s and carers.

Whether:

a) you're (or your child is) newly diagnosed and feeling super confused or overwhelmed with the idea of Carb Countin

b) or you just wish there was an easier/more accurate way to carb count during the silly season

..you will find the Carb Counting Masterclass super helpful!

About This Episode

Many of us in the type 1 world are aware that (some) exercise lowers our blood sugars. It can be a super frustrating reality of type 1, especially when we are active individuals and now feeling held back by frequent hypos. But we often overlook the activities that aren't considered exercise, but still lower blood sugar. When we know the factors that affect blood sugar, we can learn to better manage them. I bet you can't guess all 15!!
