This is the view from my desk. Today we made a plan to make Monday’s our tidy up day so I tidied my desk. I am loving looking up from my computer to see the things that inspire me, although I feel we are all being sorely tested right now I feel a sense of optimism and confidence. We got this! #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 #covid19

This is one of the ways I stay well during this incredibly intense time. Dancing has always been my joy outlet one of the biggest transitions for me was stopping my work of performing and choreography when I was 35. Since then I’ve just danced for me. Now more than ever is the time to do what you love. Or discover something new to love. We are in self isolation now with plans to share more from an online platform soon...in the meantime laugh, dance , play, connect with loved ones, meditate and just be . #dance # beachdance # covid_19

Some flowers freshly picked from our wheelbarrow garden. In these uncertain times. Where we are panicking too much or not enough. Where we want to hold our loved ones dear yet let them do their own thing. Where we wish to return to our business as usual yet at the same time ready to make big changes to live more in harmony with nature. Where we must learn to be realists yet still honour our dreams. These times call for introspection and contemplation on what’s truly real both on a personal level and also in regards to our absolute nature. I am grateful to have a solid foundation in the teachings of Atma Vidya ( Self Knowledge ) that I have a steady breathing and Asana practice. Feeling fortunate to be able to start a garden and to also be able to eat a greater variety of food should some types of foods become unavailable in our area. I realise we are very very lucky and I can only hope and pray that out of this uncertainty comes certainty- that we are all inseparably part of the whole. Blessings

My blood sugar hit 11.7 mmol today. It’s been a while. I mean a long while. Since starting Insulin in 2014 and simultaneously going low carb I’ve had excellent control. A high for me was about 9 mmol. In the last two years, even that was pretty rare. The control I’ve had over my numbers has been directly related to a huge amount of food restriction. A.K.A living on eggs, non-starchy vegetables and avocados and olive oil for the last 6 years. When my husband would ask, “How is your dinner?” my standard reply was, “the same.” I could make breakfast, lunch or dinner in 15 minutes tops. Eating to live, and fine with that. Worth the sacrifice if it meant staying healthy. Don’t get me wrong low carb works. It totally works. The question is… is it healthy and sustainable? I have been low carb for 6 years so it’s doable but healthy? Healthy is having a rainbow in your diet. Healthy is as much emotional satisfaction as physical satiation. Healthy is enjoying food, being social, being able to go out and pick something off the menu without guilt or fear. Healthy is putting the meal together and then trusting that what you inject will do the job. I’m not talking eat whatever you want and cover, rather eat whole foods that please the eye and the pallet. Know you are taking in life sustaining nutrients and that your body can take it in, digest it and distribute the energy accordingly. Read more on the blog.
