Gratitude to all things diabetes tech. ✌🏼 T Gratitude to all things diabetes tech. ✌🏼 This week I’ve been changing around my diabetes self care routine from autonomous looping (with Omnipod and Dexcom) to manual injections with the Dexcom continuous glucose monitor. I’m so fortunate to have learned how to switch between strategies from @txlionscamp. I actually love switching routines because it gives me a chance to re-evaluate my patterns and habits around bolus timing, carb counting, and basal adjustments. I’m changing due to a change in insurance. This basically happens each time my insurance has changed throughout my life. It’s amazing how insurance is dictating what diabetes care plan we use, not necessarily the docs or the patients. All the love to @dexcom and @tidepool_org. Looping was an AWESOME experience and totally worth the set up. ❤️
Hospital Nights. 🏥 🚑❤️ Nightshifts as Hospital Nights. 🏥 🚑❤️ Nightshifts as a resident come with unique responsibilities of increased independence and autonomy in decision making. Nightshifts as a person with diabetes come with unique challenges of meal timing adjustments, circadian reversal and different activity levels. Nights have taught me SO much about being a doctor, talking to patients, medical decision making and running rapid responses in times of acute need. Nights as a patient have taught me a whole new level of adaptability when it comes to blood glucose management. 👩🏼‍🔬 I have so much gratitude for these experiences throughout the year. Looking back on my first set I remember being afraid to even introduce myself as the doctor. I feel like they’ve helped me grow in all of the ways. As for the N-95, my best recommendation is to boost our immune systems by working on optimizing overall health. 💪🏼
Diabetes & bikinis. 👙 Okay ladies, let’s be Diabetes & bikinis. 👙 Okay ladies, let’s be real. Rocking your diabetes tech in a two piece comes with it’s interesting glances. People are curious. At the beginning of each summer I have to give myself a pep talk about how it’s okay to be different, how I’m grateful for these amazing quality of life enhancers and how I am proud of who I am. Truth is, I used to hide any sign of having type 1 diabetes from others. I was ashamed and afraid of how others would judge me. Getting over that obstacle was one of the most freeing and liberating challenges. It’s amazing how diabetes has taught me that it’s okay to be me and show who I really am. This has positively impacted so many other areas of my life. I am grateful that diabetes has helped me grow as a human. Right arm: Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitor. An amazing device that measures my blood sugar and uses Bluetooth to send it to my phone and graph my levels so I can keep an eye on them. @dexcom Right hip: An omnipod insulin pump that gives me insulin (hormone that people with T1D don’t make ) every 5 mins and higher doses when I tell it I’m eating a meal or snack. It’s amazing! #omnipod
Grateful for community, for connection and for gro Grateful for community, for connection and for growth. 💕 There are countless reasons that make me so grateful for this relationship. Our love for health, self-love and a growth mindset helps be become more of who I am every day. “We are what we believe we are”. -C.S Lewis @rich.growth
Happy Father’s Day to a man that means the world Happy Father’s Day to a man that means the world to me!

The world is a beautiful place. 🌎 Fellow T1D’s, I’m here for you. If you have questions. Need pep talks. Want resources. Let me know how I can help. 👩🏼‍⚕️
Looped. I finally completed a 3 month long project Looped. I finally completed a 3 month long project of connecting my insulin pump to my continuous glucose monitor with an algorithm that can change basal rates autonomously for real-life, real-time feedback and precision insulin dosing. An incredible group of people created this software and are providing it for free online to help others interested in implementation. I am in awe of the work that went into creating this system. The world is a beautiful place. 🌎❤️👩🏼‍🔬 #looping #type1diabetes #rileylink
This week, I broke the wrist of my dominant arm. I This week, I broke the wrist of my dominant arm. It’s been a challenge to learn how to do everything with my left hand. Things that used to come so second nature like showering and brushing my teeth are now tedious and very intentional. There was some concern that I wouldn’t be able to finish my nursery rotation this month as we do daily minor procedures and hold lots of babies. After lots of ice, rest, and a new brace, I was able to complete two procedures today. It was a week full of challenge, giving myself peptalks, and trusting the universe that everything would work out. Lessons learned: finish assigned work early and don’t procrastinate on presentations just in case you break your arm and can’t type, learning to give yourself a really good peptalk is an important life skill, trusting the universe has worked out for me every single time (hence I’m still on earth living a good life). ❤️ ✌🏼🚿
