8 years of Type 1 Diabetes!! Today London is celebrating her 8 year Diaversary! I never expected to walk into the Hospital 8 years ago with a very sick 16 month old, and walk out as a T1D advocate determined to give my child the best life possible despite a T1D diagnosis. Thank you for following in our journey! We celebrate another year of thriving with T1D and this year London requested a shopping spree at the mall. Such a fun way to celebrate Londons determination and strength. 💙8️⃣ #diaversary #londonslowcarblife #thisiskidfirst #t1dgymnast #typeonegrit #celiac #celiact1d #ketokids #lowcarbkids #ditchthecarbs #type1mom #ideservenormalnumbers #letmebe83 #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #inranget1d #eatinglowcarb #omnipod #t1dlookslikeme #dexcomg7 #t1d #dexcomg6 #omniloop #diyloop #lowcarbandlovingit #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #t1dmom #keepingitlowcarb

Pro tip for beach/pool days. Low snacks packed and labeled with carb counts. Easy to grab and calculate how many carbs and get back to the fun! We usually treat lows with dextrose based candies like Smarties. However at the beach or pool London needs a little variety. So it’s kind of fun to mix it up with a little variety keeping in mind different low treatments don’t work as fast at smarties or dextrose. #londonslowcarblife #thisiskidfirst #t1dgymnast #typeonegrit #celiac #celiact1d #ketokids #lowcarbkids #ditchthecarbs #type1mom #ideservenormalnumbers #letmebe83 #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #inranget1d #eatinglowcarb #omnipod #t1dlookslikeme #dexcomg7 #t1d #dexcomg6 #omniloop #diyloop #lowcarbandlovingit #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #t1dmom #keepingitlowcarb

Sand, beach, and t1d. 😬🫠 We love Opsite Flexifit to keep devices on in the water. The pod and Dexcom stayed on but the pod didn’t survive the sand bath! When I pulled the pod the entire cannula area was full of sand. Her numbers started creeping up but a quick change and we were back in business. I put London’s Loop in open loop and fingerstick every 25-30 min. Usually I’m giving her 3g of carbs after each check to keep her steady. She loves the extra snacks and we’ve found this strategy to work the best for long days at the beach. #t1dbeachdays #londonslowcarblife #thisiskidfirst #t1dgymnast #typeonegrit #celiac #celiact1d #ketokids #lowcarbkids #ditchthecarbs #type1mom #ideservenormalnumbers #letmebe83 #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #inranget1d #eatinglowcarb #omnipod #t1dlookslikeme #dexcomg7 #t1d #dexcomg6 #omniloop #diyloop #lowcarbandlovingit #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #t1dmom #keepingitlowcarb

I’ve posted before about Celiac and the fact that London eats gluten free. Recently I discovered that I also in fact have Celiac disease and to be completely transparent it has been challenging for me to accept it. I’ve been having a small pity party for myself over the past few weeks. I know it could be worse and London has to deal with it but it just adds this extra layer of stress and worry. Mom’s always care for themselves last… After essentially self diagnosing myself, telling my Dr. what labs to run etc, I’ve found that like a T1D diagnosis you are left to kind of figure it out yourself. Just don’t eat gluten. I wish it was that simple! Beauty products, shared kitchen space, eating out, figuring out hidden sources of gluten, long term effects, etc etc. It’s overwhelming and stressful not to mention another life altering illness. Auto immune diseases suck! Yes it’s always could be worse and yes we will tackle it but that doesn’t mean I’m not kind of bummed out by it. The one good thing is that now I can really empathize with London and how it feels. At least with low carb she still can eat so many great alternatives and maintain her normal blood sugar. Many gluten free products actually contain more carbs and I also follow a low carb diet so we’ve been discovering all the products together. So there you have it…pity party over…time to tackle our autoimmune issues and live our best life! Stay tuned for May when I will be posting more for Celiac Awareness Month. #celiacmomanddaughter #londonslowcarblife #thisiskidfirst #t1dgymnast #typeonegrit #celiac #celiact1d #ketokids #lowcarbkids #ditchthecarbs #type1mom #ideservenormalnumbers #letmebe83 #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #inranget1d #eatinglowcarb #omnipod #t1dlookslikeme #dexcomg7 #t1d #dexcomg6 #omniloop #diyloop #lowcarbandlovingit #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #t1dmom #keepingitlowcarb

I know I've been quiet, but I promise you we're still here, diligently gritting away. When I started this page, my purpose was to show parents of babies, toddlers, and littles with T1 that a low carb lifestyle was not only possible, but a way to help restore peace after a life changing diagnosis. Mirabel is now 7. Since my last post, we celebrated 5 years with diabetes, experienced insane growth, mastered female hormones, learned how to read chapter books, continued to excel at school, ziplined, hiked 5 miles, swam for hours safely with no dexcom readings, and learned to give mom and dad more sass than we ever thought was humanly possible for a 1st grader. There's literally nothing this girl isn't capable of. For those who know us - we're still here, and I'm trying to figure out where to go with this page. For those who are new - this life is not only possible, it's incredibly rewarding if you put in the work. #letmebe83 #typeonegrit #t1 #t1d #type1 #typeone #type1diabetes #typeonediabetes #type1diabetic #diabetic #diabetes #type1warrior #t1dlookslikeme #lowcarb #type1kids #typeonewarrior @dexcom @ariannakoepl.27 @ginaolivottokoepl

Popcorn!! Our family loves popcorn. It’s definitely a treat and it’s not low carb. Early on in London’s T1D diagnosis I attempted to bolus for popcorn. It was relatively easy to dose for during her honeymoon phase. Over time it became harder to dose for and we cut it out entirely. Just recently a friend told us that the mini bags of Lesser Evil popcorn worked well for her low carb t1d son. I decided to try it and it worked! I gave a modest dose and London stayed steady after. I experimented with other kinds of popcorn and made my own. On our recent trip to Disney World, popcorn was a go to snack. This was my compromise to high carb treats because I knew I could dose for it and London really loves it. Is it low carb? No. Is it lower carb and more predictable than most high carb offerings at WDW? Absolutely. Find what works for your situation. Popcorn ended up allowing London to feel like she was getting a treat and not feeling deprived. It’s not something we eat everyday but as a treat it definitely hits the spot! #popcorn🍿 #londonslowcarblife #thisiskidfirst #t1dgymnast #typeonegrit #celiac #celiact1d #ketokids #lowcarbkids #ditchthecarbs #type1mom #ideservenormalnumbers #letmebe83 #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #inranget1d #eatinglowcarb #omnipod #t1dlookslikeme #dexcomg7 #t1d #dexcomg6 #omniloop #diyloop #lowcarbandlovingit #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #t1dmom #keepingitlowcarb

Are you even a t1d Mom (parent) if you haven’t slept through a low or high alert? Lows are obviously the biggest concern because of well….life!!! 😳 We’ve all done it. Whether the Dexcom didn’t go off, you slept through it, didn’t hear it, turned it off and feel back asleep etc. it’s terrifying!! Here are my backups to my backups to my other backups to insure I never miss a low alert. -SugarPixel If you don’t have one or haven’t heard of it you NEED one!! We actually have 2. One upstairs next to my bed and one downstairs in the living room. This is a t1d MUST have! It’s basically a blood sugar alarm clock. It has customizable alarms and alerts and changes the sound every alert so you can’t get used to one sound. For lows you have to physically press the button on the top to turn it off and it’s loud! It also has a little puck that goes under your pillow and it vibrates for a low alert. I haven’t slept through a low alarm since we got the SugarPixel. SugarPixel – CustomTypeOne.com -Sugarmate Download this free App and you can set custom alerts and it has a feature where Sugarmate will call you to alert to a low! My phone usually wakes me up so this is a great feature. -Apple Watch When I sleep I wear my watch. The vibrate alert for lows wakes me up and it’s easy to check blood sugar by just looking at my watch. -Dexcom Receiver It might be old school but I always have the Dexcom receiver on and have it alert to lows and highs as a backup to the phone. There have been times the receiver has alerted and my phone did not. #lowbloodsugar #t1dmomsdontsleep #londonslowcarblife #thisiskidfirst #t1dgymnast #typeonegrit #celiact1d #ketokids #lowcarbkids #type1mom #ideservenormalnumbers #letmebe83 #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #inranget1d #eatinglowcarb #omnipod #t1dlookslikeme #dexcomg7 #t1d #dexcomg6 #omniloop #diyloop #lowcarbandlovingit #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #t1dmom #keepingitlowcarb

London has been working hard at the gym!! New routines, new skills, and a new competition season starts this Saturday! On the sidelines is t1d which is a big consideration during activity and competition. I’ve heard many endocrinologists and t1d parents mentioning to just “run higher” to avoid the chance to go low or have to treat a low during their activity. I never purposely run London high before a practice for many reasons. -London feels terrible when she’s running higher and it definitely affects her performance in a negative way. -Running higher over time is the main contributor of complications from diabetes. -You can safely perform long sessions of intense physical activity and have in range numbers. Is it a little extra work? Maybe. Is it worth it? Absolutely! -We deal with adrenaline spikes on competition days and later evening practices. Daytime practices usually are more prone to lower numbers. I set overrides on loop, use protein before activity to keep steady blood sugars, and stick to our law of small numbers (small amounts of carbs, small amounts of insulin, small blood sugar fluctuations). -If she’s running lower I will have her sip a Prime Hydration drink (5g of carbs -NOT the energy drink). Occasionally she has to pop a few smarties during practice but nothing crazy. No chugging juice boxes. -We communicate during practice with my phone and her Apple Watch. I text her if she needs any low treatments. She will text me if she feels low and decides she needs a few carbs. It works out very well for us! I still watch numbers but we are transitioning to London being self sufficient with her numbers and treatments. We will not let t1d stop our girl nor will we allow it to dictate her future health! #londonslowcarblife #thisiskidfirst #t1dgymnast #typeonegrit #celiac #celiact1d #ketokids #lowcarbkids #ditchthecarbs #type1mom #ideservenormalnumbers #letmebe83 #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #inranget1d #eatinglowcarb #omnipod #t1dlookslikeme #dexcomg7 #t1d #dexcomg6 #omniloop #diyloop #lowcarbandlovingit #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #t1dmom #keepingitlowcarb

Someone was so excited to find @unclemattsorganic lemonade yesterday! This no sugar added, low carb lemonade is delicious! It’s a great substitute for a juice box and tastes incredible. It has 2g of carbs per juice box but didn’t require a dose for London after a meal. Easy, fun “kid” drink, and no sugar which I love for all of my kids. We found the bulk pack at Sam’s club but you can also purchase it on Amazon. We love all of these low carb options that are available at so many mainstream stores. It’s not difficult or restrictive to eat this way with all of these amazing products. #londonslowcarblife #thisiskidfirst #t1dgymnast #typeonegrit #celiac #celiact1d #ketokids #lowcarbkids #ditchthecarbs #type1mom #ideservenormalnumbers #letmebe83 #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #inranget1d #eatinglowcarb #omnipod #t1dlookslikeme #dexcomg7 #t1d #dexcomg6 #omniloop #diyloop #lowcarbandlovingit #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #t1dmom #keepingitlowcarb

Sharing, I told this story to a friend today and I thought you all might enjoy it too. The topic was about all of the amazing ways that kids are impacted by being taught self love, discipline, body awareness, and delayed gratification at a young age. River and I were having a discussion about bottled water the other day and how research shows that it’s not the best option because of the micro plastics that can enter your body. It was a gentle conversation about how we should probably all start being more cautious and start using our reusable water bottles more often. The very next day, River cleaned out his Yeti bottle. He now packs it daily to take to school with water in it and also drinks out of it at night while at his computer. It wasn’t even a big deal type of conversation - but he took it upon himself to change his habits based on the new information I presented. This is not earth shattering news but it’s a reflection of his own desire to do things that are good for his body. #letmebe83 PS. He still drinks Gatorade out of a plastic bottle during tennis once in a while. 😎

Low carb product restock! I made a quick trip to get Quest Pizza at Walmart and found these new Bubbly Burst sparking drinks. They have less than 1g of carbs per bottle and come in some fun flavors. Also picked up the zero sugar Kool Aid Jammers. I save these for special occasions and hide them because otherwise my kids would drink them all. They love them! I also ordered a few items on Amazon. I got more @kaizenfoodco pasta because lately London has been all about Mac and Cheese. I’ll post my recipe this week for that. I got more Keto Perfect Krispy treats and also got the Sinless Snacks version. Both are super good! It fulfills the crispy and sweet cravings! I love finding new low carb products. And restocking on our usuals! #londonslowcarblife #thisiskidfirst #t1dgymnast #typeonegrit #celiac #celiact1d #ketokids #lowcarbkids #ditchthecarbs #type1mom #ideservenormalnumbers #letmebe83 #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #inranget1d #eatinglowcarb #omnipod #t1dlookslikeme #dexcomg7 #t1d #dexcomg6 #omniloop #diyloop

It just didn’t make sense.... Why would we give him all this sugar and all these carbs if his body can’t naturally process them effectively? Gunnar’s first meal in the hospital after diagnosis was a stir fry with noodles. It was far more carbs than he would typically consume in a meal. I was drinking the kool-aid just holding onto the nurse educators every word. But my husband and his science brain was NOT! Fear and confusion? Carb counting? What? How do you even know? Those first few weeks were crazy. Nothing made sense and we didn’t sleep. There was a 24 hour timeframe where I had to give Gunnar 200 grams of carbs to keep his blood sugars up. We were desperate. I finally posted a cry for help in a parent group and thank goodness a momma shared a short video with me. That’s when we were introduced to The Diabetes Solution by Dr Bernstein. Here is the link to the video https://vimeo.com/298300778 #gst1djourney #letmebe83 #typeonegrit #diabetesawarenessmonth #GsT1Djourney #HighProteinLowCarb #ProteinUp #NormalBloodSugars #TheDiabetesSolution

Here are our Easter highlights: -Started the day with a @goodjourney donut decked out with sprinkles -Had a tiny excitement spike from looking at the goodies in her Easter basket -Headed to the fire station where she jumped, flipped, and played in a bounce house for hours -Had a slight high (133) from bumping her pod loose in the bounce house -Changed pod right then and there in time for the egg hunt. Had a few special Easter candies to keep her steady thanks to all the activity. -Had a delicious meal of ham, veggies, quest chips. -Steady numbers, happy kid, no crazy Easter levels!!

Easter basket goodies! We are doing our home Easter celebration today and heading to visit Fire Captain Dad tomorrow at the station. Here is what I included in London’s Easter basket. Squishmallow, girls skincare set, press on nails, cute Apple Watch bands, Stitch Stanley toppers, and some Easter candy. You might be surprised to see the giant marshmallow Peep. Let me go into detail on that one. London loves Peeps…… this giant Peep will be used as many, many (12?) low treatments. Is this the best way to treat a low? Absolutely not. Is it a good option for a super active kid who will be flipping and jumping around in a bounce house tomorrow for hours? Yes. Will he be cut up into a dozen pieces? Also yes. The Peep has 34 g of carbs. There is no way I would ever just dose her and let her eat the entire thing. I’m not going to give that large amount of insulin, watch her spike regardless, then be super active in a bounce house. Recipe for disaster! Honestly she wouldn’t want that either! This may not work for all kids but London would rather get a small low treat occasionally then feel crappy after eating an entire ridiculously high carb Peep. This works for us but might not work for your child. After almost 8 years of T1D London doesn’t ask to eat the entire thing. She doesn’t want to eat the entire thing. She does get tired of Smarties which is our go to low treatment but I did find the tropical variety. I also included a fun donut flavored jelly bean pack and candy necklace also to be used as low “bumps”. We use 1-3g usually when she’s very active to bump her up into range. I don’t consider London to be on any type of a restricted diet. This isn’t “cheating” because there is no restriction. However we make smart choices without sacrificing our blood sugar management goals, and eat things we all love. Again this doesn’t work for all kids but it definitely works for us. Happy Easter weekend! 🐣💐🐇 #easter #londonslowcarblife #thisiskidfirst #t1dgymnast #typeonegrit #celiac #celiact1d #ketokids #lowcarbkids #ditchthecarbs #type1mom #ideservenormalnumbers #letmebe83 #kidsfirstdiabetessecon

Does social media always show reality? Of course not. People like to highlight their successes and maybe not show you the whole picture. I try to be transparent showing our good days and our bad. Our 3/6/12/24 hour graphs are all pictured below. It was definitely a great day blood sugar wise. I’m not highlighting a little segment that was perfect and hiding out 24 hour mess…because our 24 hour graph was the same. Steady, no crazy swings from high to low, and 99% in range! Our target range tops out at 125. During this day London had a 2.5 hour gymnastics practice, ate like a “normal” kid, and best of all didn’t miss out on anything because of T1D. She had pancakes, a sandwich, a “granola” bar, pasta, and gummies for dessert. Let’s not forget the donut she had for dessert. I didn’t need to guess how much insulin to give or if she would go crazy high or low. Why? Because I know the food she ate will yield predictable results. I laugh when people say that low carb is restrictive. It’s just a matter of changing out a few ingredients and look at what’s possible! I’m proud of this day! I work hard to insure her settings on loop are correct, I catch small drops early, study patterns, and go out of my way to provide delicious, blood sugar friendly foods. It can be done!!! 😊🙌🏻 #londonslowcarblife #thisiskidfirst #t1dgymnast #typeonegrit #celiac #celiact1d #ketokids #lowcarbkids #ditchthecarbs #type1mom #ideservenormalnumbers #letmebe83 #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #inranget1d #eatinglowcarb #omnipod #t1dlookslikeme #dexcomg7 #t1d #dexcomg6 #omniloop #diyloop #lowcarbandlovingit #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #t1dmom #keepingitlowcarb

Hot tubs and Dexcom readings.. See this fast rise right here? That’s minutes after London got in the hot tub. This is why it’s so important to always test to confirm a fast rise or drop with a finger stick because water temperature can cause false readings on Dexcom!!! If you use a closed Loop system (Loop, Omnipod 5, etc.) it’s especially important that you go to open loop or manual mode because it will increase basal, give a microdose, suspend insulin etc based on the false Dexcom reading. Our experience has been that warm water reads as false high blood sugars and cold water reads as false lows. When I tested London was 108 not 142. Big difference! I always open loop before swimming and test every 25-30 min. Hot tubs are perfectly safe for omnipod wearers but I make sure it’s not hotter than about 95 degrees and secure her devices with opsite fkexifit. Warm weather is coming soon and then it will be daily pool days for my water loving girl! #londonslowcarblife #thisiskidfirst #t1dgymnast #typeonegrit #celiac #celiact1d #ketokids #lowcarbkids #ditchthecarbs #type1mom #ideservenormalnumbers #letmebe83 #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #inranget1d #eatinglowcarb #omnipod #t1dlookslikeme #dexcomg7 #t1d #dexcomg6 #omniloop #diyloop #lowcarbandlovingit #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #t1dmom #keepingitlowcarb

We found this Truwhip at Sprouts the other day and London gave it a try and loved it!! It’s just like Cool Whip- thick, creamy, and sweet with no aftertaste. I kept the serving small because it has tapioca starch and 2.5g fat per 2 tablespoons so I didn’t want to deal with a fat rise later. This would be a great product to use as a cool whip substitute. I didn’t dose for a small serving but she had R insulin from dinner that was an active. Now I’m thinking of all of the fun low carb recipes I can make with this! 🌷🐣 #londonslowcarblife #thisiskidfirst #t1dgymnast #typeonegrit #celiac #celiact1d #ketokids #lowcarbkids #ditchthecarbs #type1mom #ideservenormalnumbers #letmebe83 #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #inranget1d #eatinglowcarb #omnipod #t1dlookslikeme #dexcomg7 #t1d #dexcomg6 #omniloop #diyloop #lowcarbandlovingit #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #t1dmom #keepingitlowcarb

What t1d supplies do we carry when we leave the house… I got this cute bag on Amazon and we bring it anytime we leave the house. London sticks it into her backpack when I drop her off at practice and I have peace of mind knowing she has supplies if needed. -Spare omnipod and insulin in the syringe with a syringe cap. I change the insulin out every 2-3 weeks if it’s not used. This option is much easier than carrying around a vial and exposing it to temperate extremes. Plus if she does need to change her pod she doesn’t need to draw it up. (I will link the syringe caps) -Gvoke for severe low blood sugar -Blood sugar test kit with alcohol pads, extra lancets, cotton balls -Zofran in case of vomiting.

When they tell you they need carbs to grow… yet she eats 30 grams or less per day and her teachers report huge leaps in gaining confidence including the ability to sound out words and read aloud to the class. They report she is able to focus on tasks and actively engages in learning. That she is kind and caring and inclusive of everyone. As the year has gone on she is now able to communicate her needs regarding diabetes treatment without disturbing the rest of the class. Less of a production and more of a minor inconvenience at times, which I credit to looping. Don’t let the medical professionals trick you into believing sugar is needed to grow or necessarily for brain development. Trust the facts. Do research. Follow those that seek to be guiding lights through this disease. Know that they will adjust and thrive to lowering carb intake and your mental health will be better without rollercoaster blood sugars.

The happy face of a girl whose Mom surprised her with not only 1 but 2 Starbucks Pink Drinks after her gymnastics class the other day. I’ll never turn down a buy one get one free deal! Here’s what we order London from Starbucks: Iced Passion Tango Tea Splash Heavy Cream 4 pumps SF vanilla (she likes it sweet) Light ice Very close to zero carbs- no dose needed! I always double check to be sure it’s sugar free with diet detector strips! I’ll link the strips in stories. #ketostarbucks #londonslowcarblife #thisiskidfirst #t1dgymnast #typeonegrit #celiac #celiact1d #ketokids #lowcarbkids #ditchthecarbs #type1mom #ideservenormalnumbers #letmebe83 #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #inranget1d #eatinglowcarb #omnipod #t1dlookslikeme #dexcomg7 #t1d #dexcomg6 #omniloop #diyloop #lowcarbandlovingit #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #t1dmom #keepingitlowcarb

New product alert!! Quest just came out with a cheese puff and London approves! She loves the crunchy, cheesy, Cheeto taste. Hilo had a similar cheese puff but sadly discontinued it. London was super excited to try these. She needs a dose very similar to Quest Chips for the puffs. And just to add these snacks and treats are not everyday staples. London eats a variety of foods! Lots of protein, veggies, and non processed snacks. She eats better than most kids I know!! The goal is long term health, and a happy girl who gets treats and snacks like her peers. 😊 #questnutrition #londonslowcarblife #thisiskidfirst #t1dgymnast #typeonegrit #celiac #celiact1d #ketokids #lowcarbkids #ditchthecarbs #type1mom #ideservenormalnumbers #letmebe83 #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #inranget1d #eatinglowcarb #omnipod #t1dlookslikeme #dexcomg7 #t1d #dexcomg6 #omniloop #diyloop #lowcarbandlovingit #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #t1dmom #keepingitlowcarb

He ain’t heavy… he’s my brother… Siblings of T1D’s are just a different breed… the quiet, unsung heroes in this T1D fight… Meet Sawyer, Scout’s big brother. Meet a brother who works behind the scenes to make sure his baby brother has the best life. He walks beside Scout along his journey ensuring Scout is never alone. From coaching Scout’s football team to pricking his own finger to make it less scary to taking him to the gym to a constant pocket full of smarties, this kid has got his brother’s back. You can set your watch that if Dexcom alerts whether at midnight or 3 in the morning, before his momma can even jump out of bed, his big brother is the first foot fall across that floor to check on him. To watch him love, protect and encourage his brother is an honor our family gets to witness. And today was no different. These boys brought home the win in their championship football game. But let’s be honest, win or lose … having a brother like Sawyer to love you makes these boys champions forever 🏆 #familiesareforever #loveoneanother #brothersforlife #bestfriendsforever #t1dfamily #letmebe83

London has a gymnastics clinic today and here is what we packed for her to snack on. -Good Journey donut (London’s newest FAVORITE treat!!!) -Pefect Keto rice Krispy bar -Twin Peaks protein puffs -Munk pack bar These are all options: she’s not going to eat this all 🙃 Last time she had a gymnastics clinic they served snacks midway through and it was carb/gluten central. Which is totally ok as I always prepare ahead and plan to bring London’s own snacks. Do I worry that London will feel different? Can’t she just eat what the others are having? First off all kids are different! Different doesn’t mean excluded. In fact I think she would feel more excluded if she ate said item and had to out because it made her spike then crash! She won’t be sitting there wishing she could eat a rice Krispy treat like everyone else because she gets a very similar substitute! Why would we sacrifice her long term health, risk a dangerous low during gymnastics, and her possibly feeling crappy from a high/low over processed junk food when there is an alternative?!! We are smarter than that. Dare to be different London! 🙌🏻😊 #londonslowcarblife #thisiskidfirst #t1dgymnast #typeonegrit #celiac #celiact1d #ketokids #lowcarbkids #ditchthecarbs #type1mom #ideservenormalnumbers #letmebe83 #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #inranget1d #eatinglowcarb #omnipod #t1dlookslikeme #dexcomg7 #t1d #dexcomg6 #omniloop #diyloop #lowcarbandlovingit #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #t1dmom #keepingitlowcarb

St. Patrick’s Day is fast approaching. ☘️ A few years ago my older son wanted a box of Lucky Charms to make a Leupracaun Trap. I decided to make my own blood sugar friendly swap! Magic Spoon Fruity Cereal Cut up pieces of LaNouba marshmallows How easy is that?! Sorry Lucky Charms! I also used natural food coloring and made London’s usual breakfast pancakes green. Then added whipped cream and low carb sprinkles. It doesn’t need to be harder or complicated or involve tricky bolusing for special days. It took a little bit of imagination and planning but it was worth it! I plan on making the same thing this year for St. Patrick’s Day! I miss that little smile without her two front teeth! #luckycharms #londonslowcarblife #thisiskidfirst #t1dgymnast #typeonegrit #celiac #celiact1d #ketokids #lowcarbkids #ditchthecarbs #type1mom #ideservenormalnumbers #letmebe83 #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #inranget1d #eatinglowcarb #omnipod #t1dlookslikeme #dexcomg7 #t1d #lowcarbholidays

Adrenaline spikes… we see them if London is competing in a gymnastics meet or practicing in the afternoon to early evening. We do not see them at in the mornings most likely due to a hefty morning foot to floor dose. However it’s not a good way to go into a strenuous workout with tons of insulin on board. There has to be a better way 🤔 After doing lots of research I discovered that some people use supplements to control the adrenaline response in the body. Here is what we do: (and I’m not giving any medical advice or am I an expert in any way!) 1 hour before practice or a meet I give 750mg of GABA and 100 mg of L-Theanine. During the day I give 2-3 83 mg calm kids magnesium supplements. If I still see a rise I’ll add a second dose. I use the power and liquid versions because London isn’t great at swallowing pills but they are available in that form too. It has made a huge difference in London’s adrenaline spikes and they are minimal now! #londonslowcarblife #thisiskidfirst #t1dgymnast #typeonegrit #celiac #celiact1d #ketokids #lowcarbkids #ditchthecarbs #type1mom #ideservenormalnumbers #letmebe83 #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #inranget1d #eatinglowcarb #omnipod #t1dlookslikeme #dexcomg7 #t1d #dexcomg6 #omniloop #diyloop #lowcarbandlovingit #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #t1dmom #keepingitlowcarb

Thank you @in_type1_fell_swoop for this funny but not so funny Dexcom server outage post! It brought me a few feelings of sheer panic because Tuesdays I drop London off for 2.5 hours at her gymnastics class. This outage meant I wouldn’t be able to see her numbers and text her about when to treat lows etc. Then I thought to myself that this was the perfect opportunity to allow London to monitor her own blood sugar. I asked her to check her watch every time she had a minute between skills and text me a number occasionally. Talk about ripping the bandaid off quickly. 😂 London wasn’t super thrilled about this but she agreed and off she went. Turns out the Dexcom server came back on soon after so I saw her readings and all was ok. However it’s good to know we can start to transition her care away from Mom (or Dad) and more to London. Baby steps. #dexcomoutage #londonslowcarblife #thisiskidfirst #t1dgymnast #typeonegrit #celiac #celiact1d #ketokids #lowcarbkids #ditchthecarbs #type1mom #ideservenormalnumbers #letmebe83 #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #inranget1d #eatinglowcarb #omnipod #t1dlookslikeme #dexcomg7 #t1d #dexcomg6 #omniloop #diyloop #lowcarbandlovingit #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #t1dmom #keepingitlowcarb

20 Carbs 🤔 Remember not all carbohydrates are created equal. Keep the carbs that promote good health & normal blood sugars. Ditch the carbs that negate your health. Find safe alternatives to the high carbohydrate foods. Type 1 diabetics deserve to feel good, and to have a life free from serious complications. #t1d #letmebe83 #typeonekids #type1grit #lowcarblife #drbernstein #t1mom #type1diabetes

Contrary to what some people might think, London can be very picky when it comes to food. We tried the new Quest Strawberry cookies and as you can see she was not a fan. However, I liked them as did both of my boys so I don’t consider it a total fail! What I do when London doesn’t like a new product is put it away for a few weeks and then reintroduce it. Sometimes when she tries it a second time it’s a winner. So if your child “won’t eat low carb foods” or is “too picky” keep this in mind! #londonslowcarblife #thisiskidfirst #t1dgymnast #typeonegrit #celiac #celiact1d #ketokids #lowcarbkids #ditchthecarbs #type1mom #ideservenormalnumbers #letmebe83 #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #inranget1d #eatinglowcarb #omnipod #t1dlookslikeme #dexcomg7 #t1d #dexcomg6 #omniloop #diyloop #lowcarbandlovingit #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #t1dmom

Reflection. Take a moment today to appreciate the strength you gathered within to face the challenges in front of you. Appreciate where you came from, and where you are now. Give yourself grace when you’ve had a hard day. These are learning opportunities to build new skills. Share openly so others can learn as well. Support each other, and when you need support ask. Don’t feel you need to do it alone because there are other people that can relate, and share their experiences. ~ T1 Mom 🫶🏻 #t1mom #t1dlookslikeme #t1d #letmebe83 #lowcarbt1d #type1grit #lowcarbfamily

Choose how you want your manage your t1d. Do you want to empower yourself, and in our case my child, to make smart decisions? Do you want to achieve in range, normal, steady numbers? Do you want to ensure your child never misses out? I sure do! I never want her to miss out on anything in life. The graphs pictured are from yesterday. Here is what London’s day consisted of: -A breakfast of blueberry white chocolate muffins and frittata -A 2.5 hour long intense gymnastics practice with ZERO interventions needed -A ravenous child after said practice that ate more than I did for dinner -And 100% time in range (65-125) And while I’m not looking for 100% in range and rarely get that number, I am celebrating because we work hard for those numbers! Adrenaline, activity, and so many other factors affect blood sugar! So I’m celebrating our 100% in range and hope to inspire others to believe it is possible to achieve these numbers. Here is what we do: Eat foods we know are not going to cause huge spikes in blood sugar, dose for protein and fat, use DIY Loop with overrides for activity, correct early (before there is a high blood sugar - 130 is our high setting), and treat lows with small amounts of dextrose (smarties candies). And we live life and eat delicious food!! #londonslowcarblife #thisiskidfirst #t1dgymnast #typeonegrit #celiac #celiact1d #ketokids #lowcarbkids #ditchthecarbs #type1mom #ideservenormalnumbers #letmebe83 #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #inranget1d #eatinglowcarb #omnipod #t1dlookslikeme #dexcomg7 #t1d #dexcomg6 #omniloop #diyloop #lowcarbandlovingit #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #t1dmom #keepingitlowcarb

Well we have added another autoimmune disease to our family. 😒 I recently found out I have celiac disease just like London. I was tested after having symptoms for a few months. While London eats gluten free, the rest of the family still eats some gluten. Autoimmune diseases often run in families and T1D and celiac are both autoimmune diseases. It’s hard to have empathy for others with various conditions but now being forced to go gluten free really allows me to see how difficult it is for London. While there are many wonderful gluten free options, many are also higher in carbs. I eat low carb as does London so I’m not consuming huge amounts of gluten but it’s hidden in the sneakiest places. The cross contamination aspect, and just overall need to be extra careful to avoid gluten is a big pill to swallow. But we will take on this hurdle as with any new diagnosis and thrive. If any of you are celiac and want to offer any advice feel free to comment below 👇 #londonslowcarblife #thisiskidfirst #t1dgymnast #typeonegrit #celiac #celiact1d #ketokids #lowcarbkids #ditchthecarbs #type1mom #ideservenormalnumbers #letmebe83 #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #inranget1d #eatinglowcarb #omnipod #t1dlookslikeme #dexcomg7 #t1d #dexcomg6 #omniloop #diyloop #lowcarbandlovingit #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #t1dmom #keepingitlowcarb

Fun finds at Target today. The strawberry whip cream works for London in small amounts when a dose is in her system. Target has seasonal flavors that are super fun and easy on blood sugar. The zero sugar jammers are a very occasional item for her because they are full of artificial crap but I bought a box as a special treat. They don’t affect blood sugar at all. And the Oh Snap pickles are always a fun zero carb snack! So many easy options that keep blood sugar steady. 🙌🏻😊 #londonslowcarblife #thisiskidfirst #t1dgymnast #typeonegrit #celiac #celiact1d #ketokids #lowcarbkids #ditchthecarbs #type1mom #ideservenormalnumbers #letmebe83 #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #inranget1d #eatinglowcarb #omnipod #t1dlookslikeme #dexcomg7 #t1d #dexcomg6 #omniloop #diyloop #lowcarbandlovingit #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #t1dmom #keepingitlowcarb

Brunch during Dexcom warm up. No problem! This type of food allows me to not stress in situations where we are blind because I know the outcome will be steady. I made blueberry white chocolate muffins, bacon/cheese/brocolli frittata, and fruit and yogurt parfaits with granola. I served this meal to my out of town family who was visiting. Everyone raved at how delicious everything was and no one knew that it was low carb!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻. It was easy to make too! I’m not a cook by any means but I threw this together last night. The muffins are the keto mix from Duncan Hines with Lily’s white chocolate chips. The frittata was my own thrown together recipe with 6 eggs, splash of heavy cream, broccoli, bacon, and cheese. The parfaits were the Chiobani zero sugar yogurt with a few fresh berries, topped with Nu Trail Keto granola. I honestly can’t imagine a carb laden brunch and stressing about testing, highs, etc during brunch. Instead I had a mimosa and watched my girl enjoy showing off her gymnastics skills. It’s super easy to make substitutes that will insure better blood sugar levels! #londonslowcarblife #thisiskidfirst #t1dgymnast #typeonegrit #celiac #celiact1d #ketokids #lowcarbkids #ditchthecarbs #type1mom #ideservenormalnumbers #letmebe83 #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #inranget1d #eatinglowcarb #omnipod #t1dlookslikeme #dexcomg7 #t1d #dexcomg6 #omniloop #diyloop #lowcarbandlovingit #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #t1dmom #keepingitlowcarb

We made these today! Kiddo requested chocolate zucchini muffins 😁His aunt made these for him & they have been a favorite ever since💕 They would be really great with a cream cheese icing on top too 🤔 Recipe link can be found under my profile bio: https://lowcarbyum.com/chocolate-zucchini-muffins/ #t1dlookslikeme #noreasontofix4point6 #letmebe83 #type1diabetes #t1mom #poweredbyprotein

Breakfast of champions! 💪🏻😁Kiddo requested an omelette for breakfast. Ingredients: Eggs, farmer sausage, mushrooms, orange pepper, green onions, garlic powder, salt, pepper, tumeric, paprika, and shredded marble cheese. I sprayed the cast iron skillet with avocado oil, poured in the mixture, covered, and cooked on low for about 25 mins. Prebolused a little rapid for the veggies & no sugar added Ketchup. I dosed R for all that fabulous protein! #poweredbyprotein #t1mom #letmebe83 #t1dlookslikeme #T1D #type1diabetes #noreasontofix4point6

Do you test your A1C at home between Endo visits? It’s a great way to stay on track. What are your goals for A1C, standard deviation(+/-), and low percentage? Share in the comments below.⬇️ We are going to get back to testing monthly again. Kiddo is not fond of blood labs, and we will be using at home tests between Endocrinologist visits. We also track weight, height, and keep an eye on total protein intake(kids need a lot of protein for growth). If your A1C goes up a little determine the cause(s), make some adjustments, and monitor your progress. Also, keep track of your standard deviation (+/-) blood sugar fluctuations up and down. Standard deviation, and a minimal low percentage is equally important. If you’re achieving a good A1C, but you have a large amounts of lows, and a high standard deviation that’s a cause for concern. My kiddos A1C can fluctuate a little sometimes due to illness & growth which is the case at his last appointment. Still non-diabetic, yet we are working hard to fine tune where we can. He is literally eating twice as much the last few months. This means adjusting insulin doses, meals, and timing. We are seeing a lot of growth! The ADA recommends an A1C of 7% yet most don’t achieve that. They simply aren’t set up for success, and life altering complications can occur at that level. The body is not meant to endure high blood sugar levels. Keep your eye on your goals, celebrate your wins, adjust where needed, and also give yourself some grace! Remember you’re doing the job of a human pancreas friends.💕 #A1C #A1Ctest #t1dlookslikeme #letmebe83 #type1diabetes #T1D #t1mom #noreasontofix4point6

This picture was London’s breakfast on Valentine’s Day. The last few days food has been the only thing NOT affecting her blood sugar! We think she accidentally ate something contaminated with gluten and her blood sugar has been kind of erratic. Then she had a nightmare while sleeping the other night and had a nasty blood sugar spike. Last week she had dental work done and it bothered her mouth and you could tell from her blood sugar. Ugh. Food is the easy part right now! So many uncontrollable factors but you better bet I’m going to control the factors that I can. Hoping for smoother days ahead. #t1dproblems #londonslowcarblife #thisiskidfirst #t1dgymnast #typeonegrit #celiac #celiact1d #ketokids #lowcarbkids #ditchthecarbs #type1mom #ideservenormalnumbers #letmebe83 #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #inranget1d

Valentines Day! I made “pink velvet” pancakes with cream cheese icing for London. They were just my cream cheese pancake/donut recipe with a little bit of pink food coloring. The icing was cream cheese, butter, powdered Bocha Sweet sweetener, vanilla, and almond milk. London loved it so much she ate the icing straight from the bowl. 😋 A fun treat was a mini bag of lesser evil popcorn, we find popcorn to be successful in small amounts. Dinner was heart shaped quesadillas made with egg life thins. Finally, dessert was Lily’s gummies, pink whipped cream with a few Valentine’s sprinkles, and a fancy “kids champagne” (sparkling ice). London also got a Valentine’s Squishmallow and had the best day. We made small substitutions to keep blood sugar steady on a notoriously high carb holiday. It makes me so happy to put in a little bit of extra effort to ensure that London doesn’t ever miss out on things AND doesn’t have to ride the t1d rollercoaster. #sherkockhasthenose #londonslowcarblife #thisiskidfirst #t1dgymnast #typeonegrit #celiac #celiact1d #ketokids #lowcarbkids #ditchthecarbs #type1mom #ideservenormalnumbers #letmebe83 #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #inranget1d #eatinglowcarb #omnipod #t1dlookslikeme #dexcomg7 #t1d #dexcomg6 #omniloop #diyloop #lowcarbandlovingit #kidsfirstdiabetessecond #t1dmom

While I am a low carb advocate and believe it’s the best way to control T1D, I’m also a believer in moderation. Do we eat low carb 100% of the time? No. 95% of the time? Yes. I eat low carb. Do I have small treats occasionally? Yes. It has nothing to do with low carb eating but no one can be perfect 24/7. Today we had chips for the superbowl. Is this a normal thing we eat? No. Was it a special occasion? Yes. Did I have alternate low carb options? Yes. In the end London had a few chips. No big deal. I dosed and that was it. We did not go all in and eat pizza, cupcakes, nachos, etc. I ate in moderation to keep in line with my personal health goals. That’s the example I want to set for my children. No food is off limits or forbidden but we all make choices to sustain a healthy life. For London that includes maintaining normal blood sugars. Not pictured is the gigantic bun-less bacon cheeseburger with all of the fixings that London devoured.
