Hi Reader! I always underestimate how busy summer gets. Between work, vacations, playdates, and being the mom taxi, life fills up fast. Because of that, I’ve paused taking Nourish clients so I can focus on my blog, Omnipod trainings, and private clients in the FTF Warrior program. I truly believe in the FTF Warrior program. It’s designed to help you tighten up your blood sugars, hit 90%+ time-in-range, and predict how food, exercise, and everyday life affect your blood sugars. If you want...

Hi Reader! Happy Prime Day! I've been scouring deals and found some fantastic finds that I use and love personally, that I just had to share with you. Check them out below! On another note, summer is officially here (and it's my absolute favorite time of year! 🌞), which means it's prime time to talk about keeping insulin cool. Between beach trips, pool days, and spontaneous outdoor adventures, don't forget that your insulin needs a little extra TLC in the heat. Speaking of summer vibes, have...

Hi Reader! Spring is here, and while I've been busy decluttering closets and cleaning out my garage, I realized there's another area of my life that could use some spring cleaning: my diabetes management. Lately, I've been working with many clients, helping fine-tune basal rates and bolus ratios. As I've been guiding others through these adjustments, it hit me - when was the last time I gave my own settings a thorough review? If I'm being honest, it's been way too long. So I'm committing to...

Hi Reader! I’m officially four weeks into my Eversense 365 CGM journey, and I’m happy to report that I am loving it. If you’ve been nervous about the insertion procedure, don't be. It was easy, painless, and healed up perfectly. After a quick break-in period, the accuracy has been spot-on. The biggest win for me? The peace of mind. I’m no longer stressing about my sensor getting ripped off when I’m wrangling the kids, bumping into doorframes, or hitting the pool. Plus, not having to deal with...

Hi Reader! We made it to Spring! Besides the stink bugs and the seasonal allergies, I love everything about spring. The warmer weather, longer days, and everything blooming are such welcome changes. I always feel energized and refreshed this time of year. I'm not sure how many of you are diehard Dexcom G6'ers like me, but I have been dreading the discontinuation of the G6 this summer. I have tried out some other CGMs over the past few months and just haven't felt like anything is as reliable...

Hi Reader! I can't believe this is the last newsletter of 2025! Thank you for all of your support over the past year. I have loved building this community and getting to know all of you - and we are just getting started! As I reflect on the past year, my 28th year with diabetes, I feel like I have learned so much about unconventional ways to manage the disease, and I am excited for what's to come in 2026. I will be switching to a new endocrinologist who I hope is on board with GLP-1s and DIY...

Hi Reader! Happy World Diabetes Day! As I reflect on the past 29 years of my life with diabetes, it is hard even to remember a time when finger sticks, pump changes, carb counting, and constant CGM beeps were not just a regular part of life. Diabetes is definitely not an easy disease to manage, but I am thankful that it has gotten me to where I am today. Last night, my husband asked me what my job would be if I weren't a dietitian, and I honestly couldn't think of anything! I have diabetes to...
