Start your morning off right with @oatoftheordinary!
‌
Their oatmeal is packed with protein and fiber, and is low in sugar so you don’t have to feel guilty. Whether you like to eat it hot or cold, you can’t go wrong with this delicious and nutritious breakfast. It keeps me full and I can dress it up how if I want or eat it as is.
‌
It was like Christmas opening this box. Obviously the raspberry is my favorite 🤭

My art teachers were onto something when they said to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. It's the same with life, especially when it comes to managing diabetes. We tend to focus on the details and it's easy to get lost in them.
⠀
But when we take a step back, we can see what a small part of the bigger picture they really are. Can we take this same approach to our diabetes and our health in general? Let's take a step back and look at the bigger picture.

If you’re gonna make a comeback make it big! 😎
⠀
This has been literally months in the making but I’m a cover girl now but make it diabetes. From the photoshoot to the interview to patiently waiting to see it all come together, nothing can truly describe how I feel.
⠀
Never thought that this would be how I would show up in the world. Even so I’m proud as hell. Although my spicy brain is trying to down play this and say it’s nothing special because there’s so much more I could be doing, I’m not allowing that voice space today.
⠀
I deserve to be happy about this moment.
⠀
Thank you to @healthmonitornetwork for allowing me the chance to share my story.
⠀
Excuse me while I do my lil celebration dance 🤭🖤
⠀
⠀
PS. Life updates and new episodes are coming I promise. Life got a lil crazy in a good way 💍👀🤭

Living with diabetes isn’t something I take lightly. It’s not something to joke about or make light of. It’s a serious condition that requires constant management, and I’m proud to be an advocate for the diabetes community.
⠀
It’s the misinformation about diabetes from people who don’t live with it that makes the jokes not funny at all. Not everyone has the same type of diabetes, and not everyone experiences the same symptoms or treatments. It’s important to educate yourself before making assumptions.
⠀
I’m thankful for the advancements in technology that help make diabetes management easier and more accurate. With the help of my doctor and diabetes care team, I’m able to make the best choices to ensure I’m living my healthiest life.

PSA: You can have your cultural foods!!
⠀
⠀
As a nation of immigrants it’s frustrating and disappointing when doctors, nutritionist, and dieticians tell you that the foods you’ve known from your home country or parents home country are out of reach when you have diabetes. For many POC this is problematic.
⠀
Many foods from other lands are healthy if not more than the standard western diet. Medical professionals should be learning about the foods their patients know and love so they can work with them not against them.
⠀
⠀
Our cultural foods aren’t the problem. Period.

Are you ready?
⠀
I’ve been wanting to do a live show for a while. Even though I play video games on twitch it’s not the same.
⠀
As a podcaster first it’s always hard to get true engagement with listeners without having to, well, bug the shit outta you 😅
⠀
And I’m not hating at all clearly it’s me not providing consistency and a space where y’all can join me. So I’m doing just that.
⠀
I’m really excited about it too! I feel Ive been giving y’all the polished professional masked Taylor. But it’s sweaty and I can’t see well behind it so it’s time for the mask 👺to come off (call me Jim Carrey).
⠀
Grab ya coffee or ya tea and let’s talk!

Fun fact: Not only am I a proud black woman ✊🏽, but I’m also Thai 🇹🇭 as well!
⠀
Before the wave of Thai restaurants popping up everywhere, I was already having my fill of green curry, sticky rice, and Tom Kha. It’s a huge part of my identity especially when it comes to what I eat.
⠀
So how does diabetes fit in? Can I even still have Thai food?? 🤔
⠀
Yes!
⠀
Today I share my guide to enjoying your cultural foods with diabetes over at @healthgrades. It’s important that we expand our food choices past the standard American diet. Diabetes can be a lot easier to handle if we’re able to eat the foods we know and love from the countries our families came from.

There’s no manual on how to treat someone when they have diabetes 📖

The truth is that no person with diabetes is the same. It can be hard to know all the right things to say or do. Instead, think about how YOU want to be treated and share that with others.

I share some ways to teach others how to treat you over @healthgrades. Like I said there really isn’t a manual for this but you can have a manual for you. Link in bio to read more!

Everyone has something to say about what people with #diabetes should eat 😒
⠀

New diet trends bombard our feeds regularly. If there’s anything I’ve learned in the 6 years I’ve lived with type 2, it’s that the way you eat is just as unique as you are. Cookie cutter nutrition doesn’t work anymore. Your environment is completely different from mine. What you have access to might not be available to me.
⠀
In my latest article for @healthgrades I share key things I’ve learned about the realities of eating with type 2 diabetes.
⠀
I’ll give a hint: it’s not as black and white as many people seem to think 😉

healinginhindsight

There are reasons why Black women are hesitant with the healthcare system.

The biggest reason, in my opinion, is because it can be hard to find someone who listens to us. For many Black women with diabetes like myself, there's deep distrust, anxiety, and fear. We often have to fight to get what we need. Despite this, I’ve learned to fight back and take charge. I share some key advice based on my experiences in my first article for @healthgrades because it’s important for all Black women to know that diabetes or not, we have the power.

Meeting other women living with #diabetes isn’t as complicated as we thought!
⠀
It’s all thanks to @diabetessisters.
⠀
They’re a national nonprofit serving women age 18+ who live with any type of diabetes.
⠀
Their mission? To improve health & quality of life for women with diabetes, and advocate on their behalf.
⠀
When I was first diagnosed I had no idea who to turn to. Finally after countless google scrolling I stumbled upon their website diabetessisters.org.
⠀
I was amazed at the level of support and resources that they have available online. I spent 2 years flailing around on my own but I was so happy to find them.
⠀
They even have peer support meetings both online and in person where you can ask questions, share your experiences, and hopefully make some friends!
⠀
Head over to diabetessisters.org and check out all of they’re amazing resources

Is anyone else tired of people being in your mouth?
⠀
I see so many people tearing each other down because of how they choose to nourish themselves. Especially if you have diabetes.
⠀
Diabetes is not a one size fits all disease. Please stop projecting what worked for you onto someone else if they didn’t ask for your input.
⠀
How I manage my diabetes is going to be different than someone else’s.

That’s it. That’s the tea 🍵💅🏽

How you talk to yourself matters right?
⠀
I’ve been thinking through a lot when it comes to my body. Diabetes is for sure stressful and complicated.
⠀
I thought about all the times I would get upset about my blood sugar spiking. All the meds and shots.
⠀
I remember moments where even if it was in my head I would wish for a different body. I would curse at it.
⠀
“Ugh why TF are you so complicated?!”
“I can’t eat anything!”
“Great diabetes has validated how medically fat I am. Fuck this useless body!”
⠀
I know I can’t speak diabetes away. But what if how I speak to myself for my mental health is the same principle for my physical health?
⠀
What if we said “thank you body for waking up today” instead of assuming our bodies SHOULD just function?
⠀
How can I trust my body if I do nothing to build confidence that with the right tools WILL operate for OUR success?
⠀
Just a thought I had.

"Are you compartmentalizing it or is it feeling really consuming?"
⠀
Our first guest this week is Lissie of @needlesandspoons_ and @ki100official_
⠀
I started the season off thinking about trust with my body. When you feel like you're fighting your body everyday, how can you rely on it? It's easy to see every ache, pain, and disfunction as a fault of living with a chronic illness. But is it?
⠀
Lissie and I have a great discussion about finding harmony with our bodies. We talk about working WITH #diabetes. With her coaching business she supports those living with type 1 on how they can take back their lives and find balance living the #diabeteslifestyle.
⠀
Be sure to show her some love!

Sometimes it's about changing the setting.
⠀
I’ve been digging deep about how I wanna move forward with the show. I’m getting validation that I’m doing the right thing but not in the places where the world says it matters.
⠀
⠀
I’m battling invisible competition. Getting audits to figure out where I’m going “wrong”. joining this membership and that masterclass and it feels like I’m throwing money at things but answers are coming up short.
⠀
How do I find joy in this?
⠀
And the truth I came to for myself, is that I felt so trapped in what people wanted to hear about life with diabetes. Things that honestly I don’t wanna talk about 😅
⠀
⠀
Living with diabetes is truly a lifestyle. It’s more than blood sugar numbers and carb counting.
⠀
We have relationships, deal with depression, travel, run companies, create content, have pets, create families, fight for change, have spiritual awakenings and the list goes
⠀
on
and
on
and
on.
⠀
And that’s what I want to talk about.
⠀
It’s time to change the setting.
⠀
⠀
See you soon 🖤

The glow up is real. Y’all ready for something new?

healinginhindsight

It’s been quiet around here I know..

A lot has happened in the past 2 months tha has been an ultimate test of my resiliency as well as huge sign that I needed to shift things. And sometimes that has to be done in private.

Despite all of this, time moves on. This past weekend I celebrated my 32nd birthday or what I like to call 30 2.0

I am so humbled and blessed with the bonds that I have. Thank you to everyone for the kind messages, for sharing your time, and for simply allowing me to stay bonded to you in our unique ways.

I'll be honest my birthday spirits were a little low this year. 2022 is already showing out. But all of you have reminded me how amazing it is to have people in my life who care so much.

With tears in my eyes and a heart overflowing with gratitude, thank you so much.

I’ll share more soon but needed to share how thankful I am to be here.

I love y'all!!

Here's a clip of my beautiful bday choir ringing in 30 2.0 with me

Do you have diabetes? Are you a person of color? ⠀
⠀
If you answered yes to both of those questions, then there’s a good chance that you don’t see yourself reflected in mainstream diabetes conversations and resources. That’s why we’re so excited to share this episode with you. Featuring Co Founder Kacey Creel, it spotlights the important work being done by the non profit, @DiversityInDiabetes, to make sure that everyone with diabetes has access to information and support that reflects their unique experiences. ⠀

✊🏽Closing the gap in the diabetes community ⠀

Do you have a bag that accommodates your diabetes supplies? 👜 ⠀
⠀
I chat with @maggierosetriesch from @Myabetic whose purses and bags are unique because they were created by someone who has had diabetes her whole life (@kyrrarichards). ⠀
⠀
Convenience and organization are two things that Myabetic purses and bags provide with their large amount of pockets, as well as the Myabetic meter pocket which safely stores meters and lancing devices upright for easy retrieval during times of testing. ⠀
⠀
They also offers over 20 different styles of purses and bags that all come in different color schemes. ⠀
⠀
All Myabetic products are made with those who live with diabetes in mind. ⠀

We chat about: ⠀

Nov 19th made 6 years living with diabetes. ⠀
⠀
In the past year I started my own company and this show. Worked for myself for 6 months. Got a new job because of my show as well as some help. But even with all that I was hitting a wall. So things got behind. ⠀
⠀
Lately I've felt lost. Unbalanced. Unmotivated. Completely exhausted. I felt disconnected. I ended up sick for almost 2 weeks. I even lost my voice. ⠀
⠀
It was in this moment that I had time to myself to Rest, reconnect, and realize my limits as well as what i wanted. ⠀
⠀
there's a lot coming. Changes for the better. Deeper conversations and so much more. I feel renewed and I thank you for your patience. ⠀
⠀
Thank you to my friends over at @dq&a for the great info that's provided in these past couple of the episodes. ⠀

The stigma of living with type 2 is heavy sometimes 😰 ⠀
⠀
It can be difficult to find other people to connect with. The main reason why I started this show and my company is because I saw a gap in representation and community for those living with type 2 diabetes. Being diagnosed with it often comes with a lot of guilt and shame. It makes it hard for people to be open about their condition and share their experiences to others. ⠀
⠀
That's where the @BeyondType2 community comes it. It is a safe space to share your stories, tips, or anything else you can think of with those that understand to a degree what you're going through. I sit down with Beyond Type 2's Senior Community Manager T'ara to talk more about how it came to be. ⠀

I appreciate @scarlett_leung and the entire @takeasugarbreak team 💙
⠀
Diabetes can be isolating. At times it feels like the only people who will make enough noise for those living with diabetes are those well...living with diabetes. But that couldn't be further from the truth. Diabetes can impact anyone and sometimes even those of us living with it have to remember that we have support. We have people fighting right along side us reminding us that we're people too and nothing should stop us from living the the life that we choose.
