About This EpisodeType 1 diabetes is not just a “blood sugar problem”, it’s a full-body system shift that most of us were never taught to understand. In this episode, we zoom out from the overly simplified version of T1D and connect the dots between the many physiological systems that are actually impacted when you have t1d, other than just not producing insulin. You’ll start to better understand what you're seeing on your CGM and how you can take more control.Links and Resources⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join The THR1VE membership for step by step T1D video trainings and a carb counted recipe database to help you feel confident and in control of t1d⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book a 1on1 Consult for Blood Sugars, Weightloss, Nutrition or Exercise Coaching⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get The Better Bolusing Guide⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to bolus with confidence and regain food freedom⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch the Carb Counting Masterclass⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to feel more confident with counting carbs for all foods in all situations!Get 10% off storewide (hypo treatments & diabetes travel accessories) with code ANDIBALOG @ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.ibdmedical.com.au⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get your questions answered on future episodes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DisclaimerThe Empowering Health Podcast is for educational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine or other diabetes health care services.

About This EpisodeAutomated pumps might be the shiny new toy everyone’s raving about, but they’re not the magic solution people love to pretend they are — at least not for me. When your CGM drops out mid-workout, reads multiple points off, fails days or weeks early...handing over full control to an automated system just doesn't make any sense. And that's just the half of it!In this episode, I’m breaking down the real, unfiltered reasons I haven't switched to automated pump tech despite having the option — and why “newer” doesn’t always mean better for your actual daily life. We get into the gaps in current algorithms, missing features no one talks about, the mental load of constant troubleshooting, and so much more.

About This EpisodeIf you’re still giving all your insulin upfront, all at once and finding that your bgls aren't always the best after certain foods.. this could be why! We're breaking down the different types of boluses: standard, extended (square wave), and combo (dual wave or split) boluses, and why knowing how to use them can completely change the way your blood sugars respond. I explain what each bolus type does, when to use them, and why timing and matching your insulin to your food is just as important as the dose itself.Don't forget to leave a review in your podcast app or share this episode on socials to help me help others😊 Links and Resources⁠⁠⁠⁠Book a 1on1 Consult for Blood Sugars, Weightloss, Nutrition or Exercise Coaching⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠THR1VE Online Recipe & Video Trainings Membership for Type1s and Carers⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get The Better Bolusing Guide⁠⁠⁠⁠ to bolus with confidence and regain food freedom⁠⁠⁠Watch the Carb Counting Masterclass⁠⁠⁠ to feel more confident with counting carbs for all foods in all situations!Get 10% off storewide (hypo treatments & diabetes travel accessories) with code ANDIBALOG @ ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.ibdmedical.com.au⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get your questions answered on future episodes⁠⁠⁠⁠DisclaimerThe Empowering Health Podcast is for educational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine or other diabetes health care services.

About This EpisodeIn this Q&A episode, Sharon asked me "Should your insulin-to-carb ratio be the same for every meal? Or should I have more than one carb ratio?". This is one of those things that can make or break your blood sugars through the day but often gets overlooked. In this episode, I’m breaking down what actually influences your carb ratios (and why that “one number” you were given at diagnosis might not be cutting it anymore).Don't forget to leave a review in your podcast app or share this episode on socials to help me help others😊 Links and Resources⁠⁠⁠⁠Book a 1on1 Consult for Blood Sugars, Weightloss, Nutrition or Exercise Coaching⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠THR1VE Online Recipe & Video Trainings Membership for Type1s and Carers⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get The Better Bolusing Guide⁠⁠⁠⁠ to bolus with confidence and regain food freedom⁠⁠⁠Watch the Carb Counting Masterclass⁠⁠⁠ to feel more confident with counting carbs for all foods in all situations!Get 10% off storewide (hypo treatments & diabetes travel accessories) with code ANDIBALOG @ ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.ibdmedical.com.au⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get your questions answered on future episodes⁠⁠⁠⁠DisclaimerThe Empowering Health Podcast is for educational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine or other diabetes health care services.

About This EpisodeGoing low carb has been the 'magical solution' recommended to people with Type 1 Diabetes for decades. While carbs are the biggest factor (in terms of speed/quantity) that influence blood sugar, not eating them doesn't necessarily mean you will find managing type 1 diabetes easier. There are so many other aspects to managing t1d well, and we talk about whether low carb (or another tool/strategy) could be the right option for you in this episode.

About This EpisodeIf you've ever hesitated to give insulin because you're scared of going low... If you’ve ever felt that familiar anxiety creep in when it’s time to eat, exercise, or show up to your endo appointment...that is all anxiety. Anxiety is something most of us feel at some point, and can be even more common with t1d especially when things feel unpredictable, disorganised, or just straight-up overwhelming. But there's a lot we can do to reduce anxiety, whether it's fear of the unknown or just a habitual way of thinking you've gotten into - and in this episode I walk you through the 5 things I come back to again and again when I feel anxious.Don't forget to leave a review in your podcast app or share this episode on socials to help me help others😊Links and Resources⁠⁠⁠Book a 1on1 Consult for Blood Sugars, Weightloss, Nutrition or Exercise Coaching⁠⁠⁠⁠THR1VE Online Recipe & Video Trainings Membership for Type1s and Carers⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get The Better Bolusing Guide⁠⁠⁠ to bolus with confidence and regain food freedom⁠⁠Watch the Carb Counting Masterclass⁠⁠ to feel more confident with counting carbs for all foods in all situations!Get 10% off storewide (hypo treatments & diabetes travel accessories) with code ANDIBALOG @ ⁠⁠⁠www.ibdmedical.com.au⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get your questions answered on future episodes⁠⁠⁠DisclaimerThe Empowering Health Podcast is for educational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine or other diabetes health care services.

About This EpisodeT1D has a sneaky way of turning food into a full-time job.😬It’s not just what to eat... it’s:– Finding a healthy meal your whole family will actually eat– Shopping for the ingredients– Cooking the damn thing– Carb counting it — accurately– And then trying to figure out how to bolus for it so you don’t go high or crash low afterward🤷🏼‍♀️ (I.E. "this looks like 3u...."For many of us, it’s so much mental and physical energy that skipping meals can feel easier than eating.Or we default to the same 3 “safe” meals on repeat — not because we love them, or they're giving us the nutrition we need, but because they’re predictable and easy. So in this episode, I go over:💡 Why food feels so overwhelming when you're managing T1D💡 The often invisible cognitive load behind meal decisions💡 Why generic recipes don’t cut it for people with T1D💡 And how the THR1VE recipe database takes care of the thinking for you.

About This EpisodeI've seen one too many dudes on the internet trying to explain how the menstrual cycle affects blood sugars—and missing half the damn picture. If you’re tired of the oversimplified, cookie-cutter takes on how your hormones impact blood sugars, then this one's for you.We’re diving into the real stuff no one seems to mention: the fact that there are TWO overlapping cycles, the total lack of hormonal consistency from person to person (or month to month), and what actually happens to blood sugars during ovulation, luteal phase, and beyond.
