I don’t normally post photos like these but today is sensor change over day so I wanted to show how I wear both sensors for 24 hours while also sharing the way I am feeling right now about the state of the world 🌍 through movement. I refuse to stand silent in a world where humans see others through the lens of their own ignorance.

This is where you will find me every morning. On my mat. This morning I felt the soft vulnerability and subtle strength of what it means to have a daily practice. The devotion I give to the practice is the devotion I offer to creation. As I rise in age I realise there is less I want or need. I don’t feel lonely or like anything’s missing. This I attribute to the profound teachings of Self Knowledge, my continued opportunity to be immersed through living with @johnweddepohl. This past 5 weeks his sharing of an Upasana contemplation practice in the tradition of Shankara has upped the Anti. If there was even a doubt about the value of knowledge of self it’s been eradicated. When I step on my mat I don’t fall or rise I remember my Self. If you are at all curious about this join us for a yoga class or Upasana meditation 🧘‍♀️ all links in our bio .

Me with my newfound friend. A bag of dried dates. Today is cleaning day and even with almost no insulin onboard I need these. Must have ingested about 40 carbs worth before and after lunch to keep my blood sugar up. Cleaning days wear me out. Hence why we normally have someone come and help us do the heavy lifting. In lockdown that’s not possible so it’s all about keeping a sharp eye on my levels. Yeeek is my new adjective to describe how I feel right now waiting for the 5th time for my blood sugar to come up #masteringdiabetes #diabetes #diabetic #typeonediabetic #typeonediabetes #diatribe #diabetichealth #type1 #type1diabetic #diabetics #diabeetus #diabeticgirl #diabeticfitness #diabeticliving #diabeticlife #diabetessupport #yoga #yogi #yogapose #mindbodygram #mbgram #doc #iamwellandgood #selfloveclub #chronicloveclub #healthylifestyle #yogafordiabetes #bodypositivity #yogabetic

The view from my nightstand. At 4 in the morning my #freestylelibre sensor fell out. I don’t blame it. I had put the sensor in not knowing that my Australian reader wasn’t compatible with my new South African sensor. I ordered the reader and kept the sensor in and waited 11 days for the reader to arrive. Had it in for just 2 days before it lost it’s mojo. Now I have to wait another 24 hours before using the new one as it takes my body that long to give accurate data. So... today I’ll be finger pricking a lot as my new passion for whole food plant based meals means my insulin sensitivity is through the roof and I’m still adjusting ratios daily. Luckily I’ve discovered that dried dates work just as well and fast as glucose tabs and have stocked up on them big time. What’s your nightstand look like? Snap a pic and tag me or send a dm #latenightdiabetes #masteringdiabetes

Check this out! If you told me 3 months ago that I’d be eating a vegan black bean date muffin I would have laughed out loud and then secretly been beyond frustrated. I had been low carb for 7 years and was resigned 😑 that that would be the way I would eat for life. Except something wasn’t adding up for me.i had flat lines on my meter but I had zero variety in my diet due to so many food intolerances. I was literally down to 7 foods. Seven!!! Making the decision to stop animal protein and try a vegan whole food plant based diet hasn’t been a picnic. My tummy is still adjusting and I have days where I can feel how weak my digestive fire 🔥 is or how I can’t seem to get the insulin exercise piece right or which foods spike and which dont. However in spite of the daily challenges overall I feel so free around food. I also feel creative, inspired and a little obsessed as I think up recipes in my head and then try them out. Like this one. 1/2 cup black beans. 1.5 tbs ground pumpkin seeds. Large medjool date. 1/8 tsp baking powder. Blend till smooth and bake till golden brown
