About this Episode

I answer another listener question and tell you my current favourite protein snacks (i've also listed them for you and linked them below). It's really important to have high-protein snack options in mind and at hand, because we are all so busy and on the go, and protein is lacking from most of our diets. Most convenient snack options are low in protein and high in unhealthy fats and carbs. You can start to change up your diet with some of the options below or it might just give you some inspo!

About this Episode

There are some tell-tale red flags when it comes to t1d, food and exercise relationships, and these negative relationships are very common with t1d (I discuss why in this episode.) If you notice any of the signs mentioned in this episode, it could be time for you to make a change to the way that you manage type 1 diabetes and your eating/exercise habits. We chat about what you can do if you resonate with any of these signs or habits.

In this episode, I answer another listener question and let you in on my thoughts on training my own dog to alert blood sugar levels. If you weren’t aware, there is such a thing as diabetic alert dogs! YES! You can train dogs to become sensitive to your high and low blood sugar levels and this can be used for anyone with type 1 diabetes, whether you struggle sensing your blood sugars or just because you want a helping hand (or paw)!

I tell you all about what collagen is, and why you need it in your diet. Supplementing collagen is helpful for most people because the foods that contain collagen aren’t very abundant in our diets in western culture. I also share my favourite collagen supplements and have also linked them for you below.

My Fave Collagen Supplements:

I tell you how much insulin I use (on average) each day, outside of my basal insulin needs. It is very normal to be curious about what other people’s insulin needs are compared to your own, but important not to copy what others are using in the hopes that it will be the perfect amount for you!
