Keeping It 100 Radio: Uncensored Diabetes ConversationsEP 16 - Your Diabetes & Exercise Questions AnsweredWith knowledge is power, with knowledge is more options and with knowledge is flexibility. I believe that with type one diabetes, we shouldn't have to, we shouldn't have to tie ourselves down to a structure with exercise or lifestyle simply because it works for our blood sugar. We should have the options in front of us to make it work for us and our bodies, our goals and our preferences.

Meet the Founder of Skin Grip, Isaac ParkinsonTwo years ago I randomly applied for a Social Media Manager position for an online patch company I had recently tried out with the intention of being more involved in the diabetes community. What I didn't expect was that I would witness this company disrupt the diabetes space in such an impactful and influential space. Skin Grip has easily become a leader in the diabetes space, not only in their top-notch product - but in how they lead with integrity, prioritize accessibility and give back to the community.

The one thing in common? They're scary to think about, they're frequently used as a scare tactic from our physicians, and having them doesn't make you a bad diabetic.
Inside this episode, I'm chatting with a former Keeping it 100 client on her 11 years living with diabetes and how the fear of complications actually held her back from caring for her blood sugars. We get real on...2021-12-0551 min

New diets and trends - low carb, plant based, high carb - low fat, #75Hard workout programs, you name it. All of which were not designed to support the woman's body. The linear, checklist approach to diabetes management is actually more damaging for women who want to gain predictability in their blood sugars and work with their body.

We have seen so much growth in the resources we have available to the diabetes community. One advancement I'm most impressed with? The automode feature on pumps like the T-Slim and Medtronic (and hey, even the Omnipod but that isn't FDA approved yet). While I'm not on the automode myself, I've had many clients who are. But to their disappointment, it's an advancement that's overhyped in the health care system. Not because it doesn't work, but because they haven't taken the proper steps to set their foundations in place...2021-11-0122 min

When I was first diagnosed with type one, I was lucky enough to be 19 when I already had a pre-established relationship with food (not to say that diabetes didn't distort that relationship). Unfortunately, that's not always the case. Diabulimia is a very real and dangerous eating disorder that is not fully recognized or discussed by our endocrinologists.
