More Recipes Soon....

Life's been a bit of a rollercoaster lately, especially with diabetes in the mix, so trying out new recipes took a backseat for a while. But don't worry, I've got more coming soon—especially a mushroom and rice dish! Anyone dealing with diabetes (and their families) knows it's a constant ride with ups and downs, not just with blood sugar but also with emotions and physical health.

We have been exploring the realm of insulin pumps, which is somewhat daunting for us. As a Registered Nurse, I have witnessed some of the most challenging situations related to diabetes, including those involving pumps. However, substantial research indicates that insulin pumps can be linked to improved A1C levels, increased utilization of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), and reduced incidences of diabetic ketoacidosis and severe hypoglycemia. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10788665/

There are so many pros and cons, so what is the right decision? Well, it's all up to the individual, which is something we are still investigating.

In the meantime, insulin boluses are still the go-to approach, paired with a balanced, healthy diet tailored for diabetes—with a few cheeky indulgences here and there! It's like a whirlwind of decisions, with pros and cons flying everywhere! So, what's the best choice? That's the million-dollar question we're eagerly trying to crack, and it's all about personal preference. Stay tuned for the exciting conclusion!
