@MissBeeBright Hi! My IG is @alexis_m_newaman . I teach people how to manage blood sugar and gain control of emotional eating without forgetting about their culture.β£
When i was diagnosed And growing up there werenβt many that looked like me. I often felt alone. I strive to make my story known and love that itβs being talked about. All ppl need to speak up! #CoCi4a
Question 6 - How do you feel about the COC campaign and what can the diabetes community and organizations like T1International (#insulin4all) do better for people of color? #CoCi4a
@kikisbetes Congrats on keeping yourself, you baby and all the things up and running. Itβs a lot to juggle. I have a 2yr old and managing it all can be overwhelming! Take it one blood sugar at a time....
@healthevoices@LilMesican@DepressedWBlack#healthevoiceschat Since being diagnosed with Type1 diabetes for a young age, itβs fairly simple for me to educate ppl about my experience. i tend to ask if they are familiar with diabetes. And then explain it in a very simple way. I leave room for them to ask questions
A-2 i crave chocolate- eat it slowly and mindfully. If i eat a larger portion Iβll bolus for it. Most times i keep dark chocolate in the fridge and break it off. I also, crave chips-eat them and bolus. I say eat what you crave!
A-1 hi! Iβm Alexis and been a type1 diabetic for 36 yrs. I eat what i want and bolus. I have no off limits foods. I know how most food effects me and if i know that my numbers may be off, i may or may not take the risk...
