One of the trickiest times to figure carbs is when you eat out. We jumped in head first when we went on vacation to Pigeon Forge two weeks after diagnosis last year. Our most common method of figuring up carb counts is to use the My Fitness Pal app on our phone. This app not… Continue reading Carb counting on the go.

I’m always trying to find lower-carb options to make for meals and snacks. We believe the lower carb Luke eats, the steadier his sugars. (Although we certainly don’t ban all carbs from him!) My husband also tries to stick to a ketogenic diet. I truly think eating less carbs would be beneficial to me, as well. However, it’s… Continue reading Low carb chocolate chip cookies.
Beyond Type 1 has just launched their new app!

It’s also a place to ask questions… Continue reading Join us at the new Beyond Type 1 app!
We have officially kicked off One Walk season! Two weeks ago we attended the Progress to Type None One Walk Kickoff at the Kroc Center in South Bend.

I’ve already mentioned the fact that now, more than ever, I am loving Facebook’s memories every morning. Last week and on Luke’s diaversary, the things that popped up on my wall were a little scary… a little sad. Today, though? I looked through today’s photos and had joy. I feel like I’m a little weird, looking back… Continue reading Mourning into dancing.
It’s Luke’s diaversary! What’s a diaversary you ask? It’s the anniversary of his Type 1 diagnosis. It’s not something some people want to celebrate. And I’m definitely not celebrating diabetes itself, but the fact that we have made it through our first year of highs and lows… of carb counting… of learning… of advocating… of… Continue reading One year later… and a GIVEAWAY!
Luke, member of the Chippewa cabin and 2016 Mock Rock champion, is officially HOME! After meeting with the awesome med staff to get a quick run-down of how he did medically- he did AMAZINGLY well… he was never over 200 and only below 70 once! They were surprised at his independence with all things T1 and were impressed… Continue reading He’s home! He’s home! (And the pros/cons of camp).
