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 you jumped on the dirty sodas trend yet? They're everywhere right now, and while I'm totally here for the fun flavors, I'm also thinking about how to make them more diabetes-friendly.

But here's what I'm most excited to share with you this month: my brand new article where I'm spilling all the beans about what has truly helped me improve my T1D management! This article contains the real, honest strategies that have truly made the biggest difference in my daily life with diabetes. Don't miss this one!

What I'm loving this month on Amazon - Prime day edition!!

Here are a few of my all-time favorite purchases that I am stocking up on for Prime Day:

Contour Next Test Strips - This is the blood sugar monitor I use and love!
Skratch gummies - These are one of my favorite low treatments! They taste great, work fast, and I know that one gummy raises my blood sugar about 20 points.
Gu Gel - These are perfect for preventing lows during workouts, and they taste like dessert!
Skin prep wipes - These clean your skin and help your insulin pump sites and CGMs stick better - win, win!
Owala water bottle - My very favorite water bottle that I use daily! This helps me stay hydrated, which is so important for blood sugars.
Insulin cooling case - Perfect for keeping insulin or GLP-1 meds cool while traveling.
Food Scale - This is a great food scale that also displays nutritional information for the food you weigh.
Omnipod SkinGrip patches - I use these all the time in the summer to help my Omnipod stay in place while I am swimming and sweating constantly.
