My name is Amy, and I’m a Minnesota native who has been living with T1D for almost 9 years. Misdiagnosed at age 22 with T2D, my journey has been a wild ride to say the least. I am known for my passion for food, and I strive to enjoy all that life has to offer while managing life with T1D. Since being diagnosed, I have since been determined to find ways to manage it while still enjoying delicious meals.
My love of cooking began at an early age when I would help my parents in the kitchen. As I got older, I started experimenting with recipes and ingredients, always striving to create delicious and flavorful dishes. However, my diagnosis was a turning point in my relationship with food, as I had to learn to balance my love for indulgence with my need to live a healthier life.
Despite the challenges, I have remained committed to my passion for food and wellness. I started this blog to share my favorite recipes, cooking tips, stories from my family, and experiences with life as a T1 diabetic. My vision is to become known in the diabetes community as an advocate for healthy living and delicious foods, and continue to inspire others with my creativity and determination. I strive to be a shining example of how living with a chronic illness can be a catalyst for positive change and transformation.
