Just because you weren't an intellectually curious child doesn't mean the rest of us should suffer

Every now and again, I read something that makes it all make sense - the plugging away, the self-doubt, the loneliness, the is-this-even-relevant… This is what I read:

I've written an in-depth blog all about gut health and #t1d. It covers 6 steps you can adopt to support your gut. This is advice coming directly from my 1:1 clinical work with t1ds just like you: www.bethedwardsnutrition.com/blog-posts/6...

This is why we have to #StopRosebank. For all kids. Join the @stopcambo.bsky.social week of action March 3rd. Meet with MPs to ask them to stand on the side of all kids and against Rosebank oil field.

#Diabetes is better managed together. 👉 Ask how you can support the people in your life with diabetes. 👂 Listen to what they need—or do not need—from you. 🚫 Remember, blaming and shaming is not helpful. bit.ly/40QWn5o

I'm writing my newsletter again (woo!) + love sharing my reflections on what it means to live with T1D. In the latest edition, I'm writing about the pull many of us feel to seek the One Perfect Way to manage our diabetes + why the 5-step plans or fads do down our complex + nuanced lived experience.

How is it possible to find peace and acceptance with a chronic health condition like #type1diabetes? I believe acceptance-focused processes, rather than chance-focused approaches (CBT - not really my bag) are the way to go. More here: www.bethedwardsnutrition.com/blog-posts/h...

👀 Eyes down! This is for fun, but also to remind you that: 1) it's not just you feeling this way. 2) that there are ups and downs (+ not just in our glucose levels). Some days things will feel easier + some days we'll be on the 🎢 This is a normal, albeit difficult, part of living with #type1diabetes

The rights to your own medical data are critical to taking control of your health. Patients with #Type1Diabetes have led and continue to lead the way, but without access to their data, that progress may be hampered. www.zocalopublicsquare.org/diabetes-dat...

on finding acceptance and peace with #type1diabetes When it comes to psychological models of chronic health (that's right, yes hello, we've dived straight in), the one that speaks most to me is something called ACT, which stands for Acceptance and Commitment Therapy /1

Are you preparing for a #t1d pregnancy and feel a tad overwhelmed by how to manage? I've undergone my own pregnancy & supported many women through t1d pregnancies. Here's some helpful advice for you www.bethedwardsnutrition.com/blog-posts/w...

Another study showing that diabetes specific psychological concerns are a priority for adults living with #t1d. Really hoping NHS policy makers are speaking to diabetes psychologists... #diabetesuk #type1diabetes #diabetespsychology #diabetesnutrition onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

For profit healthcare, including private health insurance is an absolute nightmare. Eldest child was DXd with type 1 diabetes at age 9. She's 22 now. To my shame, I cheered when I saw the assassination of UNHs CEO. Our system is great if you never use it. Please hold on to the NHS.

Today marks 55 years since my T1D diagnosis. Which is weird because I’m only 38 years old 🥴 #T1D #type1diabetes #insulinforall

Louder for the people at the back!

Chronic illness is not for me. I'm giving it back.

A really easy way to avoid getting sick from raw milk is to just not drink raw milk. Pasteurization is good and sometimes we don't need to overthink things.

5 hybrid-closed loop systems you may wanna know about...HCLs are the latest wave in diabetes management, making the condition easier to manage 1/

MY work in the diabetes space has nothing to do with 'fixing you'. ...even if you come and tell me you're broken. ...even if you feel your body malfunctioned. ...even if this has been your usual interaction with the health care system.

If you live with t1d, you'll be making an extra 180 decisions daily compared to someone without t1d. This means your tiredness, mental load & burnout will all have the potential to be higher than someone not managing this funky health gig. Are there any you'd add? #Type1Diabetes #Type1LooksLikeMe
