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.

As always, this is not medical advice and is based solely on Kirby's own experience.
