In this podcast episode, we dive into one of the most controversial topics in the diabetes community - carbs. If you've been following along, you know I'm all about those carbs. However, I also believe that there's no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to nutrition. Carbs were a significant part of my upbringing and athletic lifestyle, but when I was diagnosed with diabetes at 19, all I heard was how to avoid carbs.
This episode is for those of you who, like me, want to discuss how to reintroduce carbs into your diet. We'll tackle the mental and emotional challenges that can arise when you're told to avoid something that was once a big part of your life. If you are eager to reintroduce carbs back into your life with diabetes, this conversation is for you. Let's break down the barriers and explore how carbs can fit into your diabetes journey.

Regular checkups are an important part of caring for your diabetes for several reasons. The biggest reason is that things change over time, and your healthcare provider can help you adjust when they do. If you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, you’re at an increased risk of other serious health conditions, including heart and kidney disease and other autoimmune conditions so it is important to stay up-to-date with your health screenings.

In this episode we dive into 3 situations that can raise blood sugars that your endo probably never told you about!
Hormone driven changes in the feet to floor reaction, somogyi effect, and dawn phenomenon are 3 different scenarios that can drive up blood sugars during the early morning hours or overnight.
We discuss how to identify which pattern could be impacting your blood sugars, how to help combat them, what to discuss with your endo as well as trends and patterns you should watch if these events are happening to you.

Ever been told that low carb meals don't require a bolus? Well, there is more to that narrative that we're not usually told. Every macronutrient plays a role in our bolus strategy, which may be why you still see high blood sugars after low carb, high protein meals!
In this episode, Jessica Hrdlicke RD/CDCES is breaking down the role of protein and how to bolus for low carb, high protein meals like a pro.

In a recent conversation inside of Keeping it 100, we chatted about the compound effect on our blood sugars. It's easy to get wrapped up in the high blood sugars and how they may impact our health later on. It's a valid fear. From day one of our diagnosis, we're taught to do everything in our power to keep management in check to avoid complications later on. But what about the other side of it all? Inside this episode, I'm giving you my hot take on this conversation.

What do things like pizza, burgers and Chinese food all have in common? If you answered "they're impossible to bolus for", this episode is for you!

Inside this episode, Jessica Hrdlicka RD, CDCES sits down to discuss bolus considerations for high carb, high fat meals so you eat the foods you love without sacrificing your blood sugars!

Spoiler alert: No one 'gets it' the first time. Life with type one diabetes is full of trial and error, but we're never necessarily given the space to go through it. So the question becomes, if we never go through the troubleshooting process, how will we master the foods and activities we love without overwhelm?
Inside this episode, Lissie sits down and discusses three important things to remember when going through the trial and error process confidently. If you're someone who has been feeling like "I've had diabetes for years, I should have this figured out by now" this one is for you!

Diabetes is a 24/7 job, but does that mean we can put 100% of our energy into it all the time? As people living with diabetes, we're also human. Inside this episode, I brought in my dear friend and co-coach Valeria Garcia and we talk all about how we navigate burnout in our diabetes management.

When we're initially diagnosed with T1D, we're lead to believe that essentially the only three numbers that matter are the number of carbs we're eating in our meal, the number of units to take of insulin, and the number on our meter.
But when we take a holistic approach, we can see that there's so much more to the journey. We always hear, "there are 42 things that impact blood sugar" - well not for nothing, but why aren't we considering them in our every day decisions?
While I'm not here to tell you that you should be considering every single one in every single daily dosing decision, there are a few things that should be top of mind and we're breaking it all down in this weeks episode!

The way we go beyond our diagnosis looks different for everyone! It may be trying a new food, traveling to a new place or jumping on a bike and riding 50 miles. Inside this episode, Briana Kuta, T1D of 16 years and coach inside Needles & Spoons, shares how she goes the distance and continues to push past fears as she shares about her most recent cycling adventure.
This episode is not only about cycling with TID and how to prepare for long organized events for many hours while managing diabetes, but also about what’s possible when we feel confident in our strategy and management approach!
As Briana shares in this episode, “don’t ever let diabetes stop you from doing anything.”
This is the energy we love to see!

What's the most important area to master in your diabetes management before all else? You guessed it, your baselines. While there's such an emphasis on lifestyle, diet and exercise on blood sugars, the easiest area to overlook in having trust, ownership and predictability in your management is understanding how to test, assess and adjust your basal rates, carb ratios and correction factors.
Inside this episode, our Keeping it 100 Nutrition Coach Jessica Hrdlicka goes through the importance of mastering your baselines, where to start, and how to walk into your next endocrinologist appointment with a brand new lens.

Diabetes technology is powerful. Insulin pumps, CGM's and now automode features on almost every system has made blood sugar management more convenient than ever. But what happens when we start to use the technology as a crutch?
Meet Christine Heusser, Keeping it 100 graduate and type one diabetic of 22 years. After years of being on an insulin pump, Christine realized not only were her behaviors not supporting her blood sugars, but her baselines were completely off, which was being covered up by the Control IQ feature. Not only did this leave her feeling burnt out and hands off in her control, but reactive in her management.
Join us in today's conversation where we discuss the beauty of technology advancement, the flaws and everything in between.

The pre-bolus is a very powerful tool - however it's not the only tool and sometimes, life gets in the way and we don't have time to take our insulin early. Instead of turning to the all-or-nothing mentality, there are still tools you can use to support your blood sugars.
Inside this episode, Lissie sits down and walks you through four tools that can be utilized in these moments so you can remain present in the moment and be assured that you are taking a proactive step in your diabetes management.

If you're feeling stuck or a bit burnt out in your diabetes management, this episode is for you. At some point or another, all of us go through ruts in our management, and it's important to normalize it! Instead of trying to to tackle everything at once, I've found it most sustainable to build strong foundations that support us in the ever occurring micro-moments that create big impact in our diabetes management.
Today we're talking about neurolinguistic programming and how you can use the practice of anchoring to build positive pairings that will completely change the relationship and mindset you hold around the blood sugar numbers. The more we implement practices like this, the less we associate our self worth with our blood sugars and the more we see them as an independent part of our lives.

What happens when you think of the number 62? Did your mind just jump to 62 carbs?
It's no secret that living with diabetes can distort our relationship with food. Whether it's looking at the amount of carbs constantly, the blood sugar trend or just associating your food with a number - it can be pretty damaging. So the balance becomes, how can we enjoy the things we love while balancing the blood sugar strategy?

There's never a "good time" to be diagnosed with type one diabetes and we know everyones experience is different. In today's episode, we talk about the key differences in being diagnosed as a child and as an adult.
Meet Rachael, the virtual assistant inside Needles and Spoons who was diagnosed with type one diabetes in 1994. Her and Val, diagnosed at age 23 discuss their experiences and despite how different they were, lead them to a very similar place in life.

We know that there are two disparities in the diabetes community.
Disparity #1: There is a lack of representation and empathy for the type two community.
Disparity #2: People of color do not receive the same level of care in either communities.
So how does social media perpetuate these disparities? How can we become more inclusive and bridge the gap?
Inside this weeks episode, I sit down with Taylor Danielle, Podcaster and Founder of Healing in Hindsight a network to help millennials with diabetes thrive. We discuss Taylor's experience as a Type 2 woman of color navigating the diabetes community and advocating for equal care and representation.

Weight loss isn't a bad goal to have while living with diabetes. Unsustainable weight loss is.
There is a massive difference between weight loss lead by restriction, and weight loss lead by fueling your body and enjoying the process.
Inside today's episode, I sit down with my co-coach and friend, Jessica Hrdlicka. Jessica is a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator who helps people living with diabetes lose weight and manage blood sugars all while eating the foods that they love.
Inside our conversation, we talk all about an empowered approach to your weight goals and taking the journey without restriction.
SHOW NOTES
⏰ (1:04): Introducing our guest, my-co-coach: Jessica Hrdlicka
⏰ (2:01): I'm sure that everybody kind of knows you from my Instagram page, um and just kind of being aware of Keeping it 100 But do you mind taking some time to introduce yourself and just kind of sharing a little bit more about yeah, you and what you do?
⏰ (3:31): Can we take a quick second, just to explain kind of what you do for, first our clients inside of Keeping It 100, but then also what you do for your own clients inside of your own business?
⏰ (5:54): Can you share maybe the things that your clients typically walk in believing and kind of what shift you help them create?
⏰ (8:50): What is the first thing that you kind of uncover with these clients who come in with those preconceived kind of notions like you mentioned?
⏰ (13:14): Can we talk about the science behind it, on both ends of like weight loss and insulin resistance, why isn't cutting carbs or cutting calories the immediate solution there?
⏰ (17:02): When we're talking about just that initial mindset portion of working on the relationship with food and relationship with the number, before anybody even wants to get into their weight loss journey. What are kind of some tips or advice that you can give them when they're working with that upfront?
⏰ (19:22): When it comes to kind of that weight loss perspective, how do you take that 'adding in' approach into that goal? Like, how do you support your clients in that?
⏰ (22:05): Can you talk about that a little bit, of why having less calories doesn't always equate to weight loss?
⏰ (23:55): I wish more people took your approach of like, no, like, we need a set amount of calories a day, we need to fuel our bodies. And that's how it works.
⏰ (25:26): If someone came to you in a plateau, what would be the first few questions that you would ask them to consider?
⏰ (30:32): How would you say that like your approach to blood sugar management, insulin resistance, weight loss, etc. meets that sustainability piece? Like, what do you do differently that makes it sustainable for everybody so that they're not stuck in that yo-yo diet?
⏰ (32:33): When would you say ‘you’ve done a lot, it’s time to kind of set that goal aside and focus on other things’?
⏰ (35:37): What would you say is the importance of having like a mentor, or a coach, or someone like you, right next to them guiding them along the way?
⏰ (37:18): Inside of your own personal coaching, do you do private coaching, group coaching? What can people know about how you support your clients?

Welcome back to Keeping it 100 Radio! Today we're talking all things type one pregnancy. There can be a lot of fear-based tactics to motivate type ones into better blood sugar control for pregnancy, but Piper believes in a different approach.
Inside today's episode, we learn from Piper Backholm all about why traditional approaches to lowering your A1C before pregnancy don't work, what to focus on when going on a TTC journey and all of the ins and outs of what to expect during the nine months of pregnancy.

⏰ (1:03): This week’s guest
⏰ (2:43): Do you mind introducing yourself?
⏰ (4:26): What got you on to that approach of integrating more whole foods into your own lifestyle?
⏰ (6:48): Do you mind speaking more on your diagnosis and how it was to go from growing up with this; living with T1D for 20+ years, to now having your own child and going through that experience of having your health now impacting somebody else as well?
⏰ (10:12): Were these questions that you went to your doctors with?
⏰ (12:43): Were there other people that you brought into your journey at that point?
⏰ (14:40): So for somebody listening who might not know the difference between their regular health care provider, endocrinologist and somebody who works in the holistic realm, how did they approach those appointments differently?
⏰ (18:42): Can you speak more to the difference that you felt in your journey from living that standard American diet to focusing on micronutrients and the holistic perspective?
⏰ (23:22): Were there any fears going into pregnancy or misconceptions that you didn't know more about? Like those common myths that we're taught about diabetes and pregnancy?
⏰ (28:35): So for your clients that come to you, do you notice that a lot of these maybe first time moms generally have a lot of fear? Or like what are the common roadblocks that stop people from wanting to or make them scared of pregnancy or having a family?
⏰ (33:32): If you were talking to someone who may be looking to get pregnant in the next 3-5 years, and they’re looking at all the kind of misconceptions that are given online or the recommendations or fears that people hav, what would you tell them being on the other side of it? What would you want them to hear instead?
⏰ (39:15): How would you describe that experience to anybody who’s kind of trying to prepare or get more real insight into the journey of pregnancy; from preparation (lowering A1C, etc) to the hills and valleys of insulin resistance and insulin sensitivity during pregnancy?
⏰ (44:24): So looking a little bit into the pregnancy journey, again, you know, SparkNotes version, how can you prepare somebody for the nine months? I know that there's different sensitivity and resistance levels, just kind of how somebody might prepare and looking to maybe understand the trends that might be coming their way?
⏰ (51:31): Let's talk about how you support type one woman in the pregnancy journey and how people can find more about you and what you do, because obviously, there's just so much more than can fit into an hour long podcast episode.

What is a bolus anchor and how can it change the game for your T1D management? From day one of our diagnosis we're taught that routine will be our saving grace and variability is our worst enemy. But what about when we want to add in flexibility into our life with diabetes? How do we step away from the all or nothing mindset?
Introducing bolus anchoring - my all time favorite tool for blood sugar management.
Regardless of if you want to remember to pre-bolus or just need to make injections feel less overwhelming, this is a tool that can support you.

I was diagnosed with diabetes eight years ago today.. I didn’t always choose to celebrate this day. Some years I ignored it. Some years I refused to acknowledge it. Some years I accepted it. And now I celebrate it.
Eight years of growth. Eight years of learning + unlearning. Eight years of introducing this new part of me.
Inside this episode, I'm taking you through my biggest learning curve which was reclaiming my relationship with my body after this diagnosis.

Confidence and sexuality can be a deep rooted topic especially when you are living with a chronic condition. Any shame and guilt we carry in our disability can easily carry through to other areas of our life.
Inside this episode, I'm hanging out with Erika Arff, Sex & Confidence Coach and fellow type one diabetic. Inside this episode, she teaches us how to change the habit of compartmentalize our diabetes and bring it into our self love journey.
Erika Eileen works through the lens of HAES (health at every size) and sex positivity. Erika is a Type 1 Diabetic & has been living with this disability for 21 years. Erika believes that every person is deserving of confidence inside and outside of the bedroom.
Erika has been featured in Cosmopolitan and was nominated as a Top 10 Sex & Love Experts on TikTok. Erika encourages her audience to define confidence for themselves and what it means to be a rad, bad bitch. When she’s not shaking her ass on TikTok, you can find her skateboarding on the boardwalk, listening to Latin music, with an overpriced iced coffee in hand.
Here's whats inside today's episode:
- How Erika went from burnt out with her T1D, living in Australia to loving her body, disability and all.
- The importance of expressing your needs inside of your diabetes management and all other areas of life.
- How to explore sensuality as a person living with a disability
- How to make pleasure something you accept and create intentionally

Diabetes is like learning a language you never wanted to learn. Not only are there new "rules", a new way of taking care of yourself and a new way of making decisions, but there are A LOT of new terms to learn. Heck, when I was diagnosed I didn't even know what a carb was, none the less a "bolus".
Inside this weeks episode I'm breaking down nine diabetes-specific definitions I wish I learned sooner. Learning these not only would have made my endocrinologists appointments a lot less overwhelming, but it would have allowed me to have more powerful interactions with other members in the diabetes community.
Here's what's inside the episode:
-
Nine definitions it took three years to learn in my own management
-
Four things I WISH my endocrinologist told me from the very beginning
-
How to use these for your own journey and make them your own

Trigger warning: Suicide-attempt mentioned inside of this episode.
A diagnosis of type one diabetes comes with a large mental load, especially with an adult onset.
Inside this episode, I sit down with Jiggy Yoon who has been a personal friend of mine for years (and years to come). Jiggy is the only Korean, lesbian, hip-hop dancing and rapping Type 1 Diabetic girl-who-lifts with tattoos, piercings who speaks so boldly of vulnerability.
We sit down and talk about the events leading up to her diagnosis that made handling type one diabetes even more difficult, how she chose to move forward and how she is rising above it all now.
Here's whats inside today's episode:
- Jiggy's type one journey and being diagnosed while at Penn State University
- How Jiggy made the decision to love her diagnosis despite the odds.
- Situations leading up to the diagnosis that caused burnout early on.
- How Jiggy supports her clients in taking charge of their lives without toxic positivity or burnout

After my diagnosis with T1D, it took me a while to be open about it. Not only to friends, family and old high school peers - but to social media. Even 2-3 years after my diagnosis, you couldn't pay me a million dollars to post about being type one diabetic. That's what makes Liv different. Being diagnosed a little over six months ago, she quickly brought her journey to Tiktok. Not expecting it to be found, she accidentally gained 45,000 followers on her account.
Inside this episode, we talk all about the realities of being diagnosed at 27 years old, how her diagnosis away from home shifted her relationships, and most of all how she takes comfort in sharing her journey with others on TikTok.
Here's whats inside today's episode:
- Liv's diagnosis at 27 years old
- Being diagnosed during the pandemic
- The highs and lows of a T1D diagnosis

With 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.
Inside this episode, I'm diving deep into blood sugar and exercise far beyond the oversimplification of "bring a juice box" so you can finally have interruption-free workouts. I'm going to give you the three biggest things I learned in my personal training certification that I've applied to my diabetes and exercise journey.
Here's whats inside today's episode:
- How diabetes influenced my relationship with my body and exercise
- How I went from taking oversimplified advice to being strategic around my daily workouts
- A good workout is not defined by the absence of a low blood sugar
- There are four key components of your workout to understand to optimize your blood sugars
- Manipulating your blood sugars vs manipulating the variables.

Of all of the endocrinologists that you've met with, how many of them have actually had type one diabetes like you? Throughout my 8 years of living with T1D, I can't name a single physician that has truly been able to identify with my diagnosis. Well, that's where people like Paige come in. Meet Paige Proctor, a Certified Endocrinology PA and Health/Fitness Coach who has type 1 diabetes herself. She helps her patients and clients understand the root causes of their blood sugar trends so that they can live their lives without diabetes holding them back.
In today's conversation, Paige and I talk about what it's like playing the role of a patient and provider - the good, the bad and the ugly. We also discuss the flaws in traditional western medicine and why she's decided to take a functional approach to diabetes care and how she is training her patients to do the same.
Here's what we discuss in today's episode:
- The experience of playing the role of patient and provider in the health care setting
- How a background in nutrition and exercise has changed the experience for her patients
- What is a functional approach to diabetes and how it can help patients self-sustain success

Two 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.
Meet Isaac, Founder and CEO of Skin Grip. In today's discussion, we talk all about how the company started, where they plan to go, and how Isaac leads differently than any company I've seen. Oh, and make sure to stay tuned at the end because we announce a huge way that Skin Grip is giving back and how you can be apart of it.

We've all had the conversations in our endocrinologists office - retinopathy, neuropathy, glaucoma, nephropathy - there's quite a list of potential risks that come with a diagnosis of type one diabetes. 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 the emotional impact this fear creates, the stress it cultivates and how it plays a role in how we prioritize our diabetes management.
Here's what we discuss inside today's episode:
-
Kayleigh's diagnosis at 15 years old and how the initial advice she received impacted how she managed her blood sugars for 10 years.
-
How she came to the decision that seeking support was best for her.
-
How the fear of complications stopped her from taking care of her blood sugars.
-
How social media made it's impact on her mindset around diabetes complications.
-
The mindset shift that helped her go from thinking "complications are inevitable" to "my journey can be different".

We see it all the time. 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.
Inside this episode, I sit down with my co-coaches Jessica Hrdlicka (RD/CDE) and Valeria Garcia (Women's Wellness Coach) and discuss why our diabetes management doesn't actually thrive off of routine and how our approach has created a groundbreaking space for our clients.
INSIDE THE EPISODE:
- The problem with linear solutions to type one diabetes
- Why low carb, exercising everyday and losing weight is an oversimplified approach to blood sugar management
- Why routine doesn't mean more predictability in your blood sugars
- Who creates the diets, matters
- Why insulin resistance is a sign from our bodies

Welcome back to Keeping it 100 Radio! Wow, 2021. What a year. 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 first.

This episode comes with a trigger warning, but it's an important conversation for us to have. 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.
Inside this episode, we're talking with guest Natalie Swanson about her experience with diabulimia, the impact it's had on her life and how to get support if you relate to the signs.
Here’s what’s inside today’s episode:
- What is diabulimia and why it's not talked about enough.
- The implications of chronic restrictive diets, weight loss and avoiding insulin doses.
- Our personal stories with disordered eating after a type one diabetes diagnosis.
- How to recognize the signs in yourself or a loved one.
- How exercise can sneak it's way into diet culture.
- How to tackle food guilt and how we approach food with diabetes.

⏰ (0:00): Intro
⏰ (0:28): Brought to you by Skin Grip
⏰ (1:08): Intro Natalie
⏰ (1:59): Do you mind sharing a bit about yourself and just introducing yourself?
⏰ (1:09): Why isn’t diabulimia talked about?
⏰ (6:36): How did you recognize that there was this disordered relationship around around food?
⏰ (10:23): Type 1 vs Type 2 stigma
⏰ (15:07): There's this idea of going around the diabetes community that once you start insulin, or if you take a certain amount of insulin, you gain weight. I’d love to hear your insight on that.
⏰ (20:44): Do you mind sharing some like signs or thought processes or behaviors that may help us to recognize if we might fall into that category? Or if our loved ones may be falling into that category?
⏰ (24:35): So let's just say we're a type three. So we're somebody who is a loved one of a diabetic or you know, friend, family member partner, whatever it is, how can we differentiate the difference between preference and disordered eating? Like, where is the line? How can people understand? What are the appropriate questions to ask?
⏰ (27:59): If somebody recognizes that their patient or their loved one is having these emotions around food or are approaching food in this way, or they’re noticing the signs in their management - how can they support their loved one or their patient? Like what are some things that they can do to help them recover?
⏰ (32:01): At what point did you realize that you needed support? Like who did you turn to? What did you do to kind of start that process?
⏰ (38:36): Is there a time where fitness and exercise is damaging? Or is that always healthy?
⏰ (41:41): Do you have any tips that you can share for tackling food guilt, especially with type one diabetes, where we do have to look at food a different way, and there's blood sugars involved? And what can you share if anybody needs some, some tips?
⏰ (46:31): What do you do to provide support?
⏰ (48:35): Do you have a website? What is your Instagram? Where can people find you?

EP 2 - What I THOUGHT Would Help Lower My A1C vs What Actually Did
Let’s face it, there is a lottt of misinformation, advice and poor strategy that floats its way through the internet. While intentions may be good - its effects are not. So it’s up to us to filter what is beneficial for our bodies, mind and spirit - and what is not so beneficial. In this episode, I take you through the past seven years since my diagnosis and what I THOUGHT would help me control my blood sugars and lower my A1C and what ACTUALLY helped, without leaving me feeling restricted.
Here’s what’s inside today’s episode:
- Clearing up the confusion between what diets and strategies are more likely to leave us feeling restricted and resentful.
-
1: The first thing I was told - restrict carbs. Why this didn’t serve me and how looking at the bigger picture of pairing my foods strategically helped more.
-
2: Why the detoxes, cleanses and resets are just short term solutions to blood sugar management and what you can look to instead.
-
3: The “pre-bolusing strategy” just isn’t it.
-
4: We’re in an age where relying on your endo as your only means of support will only hold you back in your management.
-
5: There will be times when exercise won’t actually benefit you, despite what we’re told. What to look to instead.
-
6: Why we’re told to avoid variability with this diagnosis and why it doesn’t work.
