Newly Diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and
Don't Know What Foods to Eat to Lower Your A1C?
Learn simple and effective strategies to eat your
favorite foods + stay in range with this self-paced course
Eating Essentials was created for T1Ds
who have been told they should...
❌ Follow a low carb diet
This approach doesn’t guarantee your blood sugars will stay in range. Instead, you can learn simple and effective meal time strategies for eating carbs + staying in range.
❌Eat a certain amount of carbs with meals
Yes, you can eat more than 30-60g of carbs per meal. Your life doesn't need to revolve around the timing of your next meal or snack.
❌Lose weight to lower your A1C
You can discover a new sense of freedom and confidence when you look at your health beyond the scale.
❌Count carbs & take insulin
Instead of feeling helpless and frustrated with sporadic blood sugars, you can have clarity and confidence by implementing new insulin dosing strategies.
❌Eat whatever you want, just dose for it
While there are no off-limit foods, you can prioritize building balanced and flexible eating habits that support your long-term health.
If you relate to the statements below, I promise that you are not alone.
The statements above are conflicting and contradicting, which can make diabetes feel even more frustrating and overwhelming.
I remember 10 years ago when I was diagnosed with T1D, I was discharged from the hospital with vials of insulin and a package
of syringes (alongside a million other prescriptions) and was told to make a follow-up appointment with my doctor in 2 weeks...
Within the first year of my diagnosis, I had appointments with my care team for a collective total of 3 hours.
When diabetes demands constant time, energy and attention, this type of care isn't sufficient enough. I built the Eating Essentials
course because T1Ds deserve more support and better education.

Meet Your Dietitian
Hi friend! I'm Amanda
I was diagnosed with T1D when I was 18 years old and to say it flipped my world upside down would be an understatement. While I was on the mission to achieve the lowest A1C possible, it came at the expense of having to give up foods that I love, spending time with people I care about, and being constantly on edge about every blood sugar level.
I knew there had to be a way to live my life seamlessly alongside diabetes without being afraid to experience all the things that life has to offer.
I truly never thought that I could exist without worrying about what my next meal would be or feeling guilty about eating certain foods. Now that I am a registered dietitian, I feel fully confident in my abilities to navigate any situation that life with T1D decides to throw at me.
I created this course because I believe that T1Ds deserve better support and more education so they can confidently eat carbs + stay in range.
