The NDSS is administered by Diabetes Australia
November 22, 2024
This week on Life on the level, hosts Isabella and Sebastian are joined by dietitian Phoebe Nelson, to talk all things food and nutrition for type 1 diabetes. They dig into how high-fat and high-protein meals can affect glucose levels and suggestions for adjusting your insulin. They also explore different diets, such as high-fat, low-carb and vegan diets, and discuss their pros and cons for managing diabetes.
Join us on Life on the Level as we get into the realities of living with type 1 diabetes, share real stories and build a community that gets it. Remember, together, we are stronger. Stay connected and follow the show, and keep the conversation going.
