From TCOYD's ONE conference on 10-16-21.

If you’ve sworn off pizza because it wreaks havoc on your blood sugars, don’t delete Domino’s from your dinner rotation just yet. Dr. E. and Dr. P. tried two different ways to stay in range after eating three pieces of pepperoni pie, and the results may surprise you. Dr. P. used a detailed and predetermined math calculation, and Dr. E. went with the WAG method - Wild Ass Guess. How'd they do?

Learn about complex food dosing for when you go out to eat, especially when you’re traveling and might be eating more meals with carbs, fat, and dessert than normal. Let’s be prepared to keep our sugars from spiking too high when we bite into our first Hula Pie and sip our first Mai Tai of the year…hmmm actually…decade!!! Yes, you are going to want to know these tips.

Speaker: Adriana Valencia, RD, CDCES

#diabetes #type1diabetes #timeinrange

Steve and Jeremy eat three donuts in a 15-minute time span to see if they can keep their blood sugars in range (between 70-180mg/dL). They each try a different technique…Steve uses ultra-rapid-acting insulin with a pre-bolus, and Jeremy uses inhaled insulin Afrezza. Please keep in mind we are not advocating that anyone eat three donuts at a time, but this experiment demonstrates that, with the right tools and education, you can eat your favorite foods in moderation while living with diabetes.

The video Jeremy references about Afrezza can be found here:

This video throwback was recorded in 2015, but Dr. E's advice still holds.

Chef Lewis shares his recipes, tips, tidbits and humorous anecdotes about cooking delicious and nutritious diabetes-friendly meals. (Chef Robert Lewis) - TCOYD Virtual Diabetes Conference and Health Fair 2020

After-meal highs are super common and can be a real pain. Too often we combat these highs with a rage bolus and then go too low. Provided in this session are some useful tips and tricks to avoid going high, so you stay sane, and in control. (Gary Scheiner, MS, CDE) - TCOYD Virtual ONE 2020

If you know someone living with diabetes and you'd like some ideas on how to support them a little better, here are some examples of what to do, and what NOT to do, when you go out to dinner.

The only thing worse than being around a ton of candy at Halloween is being around annoying people who try to tell you that you SHOULDN'T eat all that candy at Halloween. So what's a person to do? Dr. E has some great advice on how to enjoy the holiday while navigating the deluge of sweets and treats.

The Keto Diet is a hot trend and lots of people are having amazing weight loss results with it. Dietitian Adriana Valencia explains exactly what it is, how it's different than Atkins or Paleo, and whether or not it's safe for people with diabetes.

Everyone with type 1 has done it - you get low in the middle of the night and you're so hungry you eat everything in sight. Here's a tip from Type 1 endo Dr. Jeremy Pettus on how to keep those nighttime blood sugar rollercoasters under control.

You don't have to stop eating the foods you like when you go out to eat, but a little pre-planning and a little extra testing will help you stay on track without your blood sugars going too high or too low.

If you're able to follow a pretty diabetes-friendly way of eating during the day, but as soon as the sun goes down your will power goes down with it, here's a great tip from diabetes psychologist Dr. Bill Polonsky.

For many people with diabetes, managing food choices during the day is easy, but when the sun goes down, look out! Sometimes you just want to eat everything in the house! Dr. Bill Polonsky has a solution to what we call the "werewolf syndrome".

It may seem like sugar free candy would be a good choice if you have diabetes, but you have to be careful. Some of these types of candies still have sugar alcohols which will still make your blood sugar rise.

Fiber is a type of carbohydrate, but it's not absorbed into your body the same way a typical carbohydrate (rice, bread, fruit, etc) is, so you can actually subtract it from your total carb intake.

When you're serving up dinner or treating yourself to a little snack, do you ever think about the size of the spoon or plate you're using? Dr. Edelman and Dr. Polonski discuss influences we may not even be aware of that affect our food choices, and share tips on how you can use your environment to support your health!

Dr. Edelman speaks with Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator Adriana Valencia about various types of artificial sweeteners and how to select which one is best for you.

Registered Dietician and CDE Adriana Valencia explains the difference between good fats and bad fats and how we can still have tons of flavor in our food with WAY less fat!
