Having a healthy mental health, and self image with having diabetes is important! Having acceptance, comfortably being open, and having that next level confidence! My name is Krystl, and I have been type one diabetic for 17 years. I noticed that everything had to do with our physical health, diets, blood sugars, and there was nothing about our mental health, self empowerment, and CONFIDENCE with l

I discovered a simple ass trick to do when you get low so you don’t overcorrect it with too much juice! πŸ€©πŸ‘‡πŸΌ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
You know when you get low and then raid the fridge with 80 carbs of snacks and juice because your brain is telling you it needs MORE! πŸ˜πŸ§ƒπŸ­
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
But then you get a rebound high and starts the cycle of the rollercoaster which ain’t fun πŸ˜…
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
So what I did recently that really worked is when you get low have your 20 g carb snack, and then set a timer for 15 minutes.
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
The next step is you have to keep your mind busy because if you don’t, all you will think about is getting more food.
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
So do something to keep yourself busy.
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Go on TickTock, go on Instagram, read a book, watch tv.
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I suggest doing something that doesn’t take any thinking because I know when we are low it is hard to use any brainpower. πŸ€“πŸ˜‚
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
When the timer goes off check your sugar.
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
If it is still low, have another snack. And if it’s trending up, be patient young grasshopper πŸ¦‹

This did wonders for me and is super simple!
