Fur Babies in the Snow

February 07, 2019/ Claire Rogers
Fur Babies in the Snow

It finally snowed in the South! The weather app on my phone predicted it for around a week before it materialised.

We had two very excited pups who much to our amazement—love the snow! Kiki (above) is much easier to . . .

The Level Scoop

Come back to this

IMG_E2986.jpg

Hi, I’m Claire.

The Level Scoop is a safe space for people with diabetes (PWD’s) to come and watch a lighthearted video or read a blog post. All created by someone (me!) who’s been living with this condition for 31 years . . . and counting.

If you have diabetes too, I’m here for you - when it feels like it’s dragging you down or just having a good old push of your buttons.

Diabetes can and will bite you on the butt without warning - or apology. It’s just rude like that!

The diabetes community is where I turn when ‘burnout’ happens. And this is a chronic condition, so it’s bound to take it’s toll, even with the most positive of mindsets.

I share what it’s like living with diabetes - a condition which takes up a lot of space in my life and the lives of those I care about.

I’ll share healthy eats, not so healthy eats and what I do to stay generally sane throughout it all.

Thanks for stopping by.

Accidental infusion set exposure at the gym today, during abs workout, made me smile enough to take a photo.

I used to care, but nowadays this is just one more part of my external pancreas and the overriding emotion is GRATITUDE 🙏

London Waterloo was at a standstill tonight, so I drove many, many miles to pick Hubby up. Thank goodness for those deadlifts today, so I enjoyed our impromptu dinner even more. Food always tastes better when earned + hungry 😋

Nailed it at the gym today, finally not bad levels. 🏋️‍♀️
Seems I have to go in with no more than 1 unit IOB, eat a snack (banana and walnuts work out well) EVEN IF my blood sugar starts out at 10mmol/L - then work REALLY hard (deadlifts included today) and swim and steam and sauna.
🏋️‍♀️
And about midway through have a tiny bit of insulin for the lack of basal on board! 🤯
Not much to remember every time I want to workout 😂
🏋️‍♀️
Oh and Closed Loop workout mode on for 1-2 hours before! 🏋️‍♀️

Aside from the MAJOR carb calculation cock-up I seem to have made (oops hypos!), these homemade Chicken Burritos were so smokey, filling and wholesome. First time we’ve used Chipotle Flakes and Smoked Paprika together - what a pairing! #thelevelscoop #teamdiabetes #t1dlookslikeme #t1diabetes #diabetesuk #type1diabetesawareness #diabetesawareness #diabuddies #type1 #type1diabetic #insulinpump #blog #diabadass #beyondtype1 #diabetic #diabetes #burritos #chipotleflakes
Loving these smoked bacon medallions...they’re lower fat than my usual streaky bacon - so half of my money hasn’t dripped into the grill pan when I cook them! Perhaps I should be mopping that up with the bread?! 😳 And much meatier. 😋 Served in a high protein @warburtonsthinbagels with lettuce, tomato and mayo. 😋

Two reasons to be grateful every day, despite what diabetes may throw my way #maltipoosofinstagram #pugaliersofinstagram #bestfriends #puppylove🐶
New post on what Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) is. A prelude to my next Eating Disorder series post because two people recently asked me if the keto diet is short for ketoacidosis 🤯 There seems to be some confusion between the two in the wide world. Link to Blog in Bio 😊 I’m grateful to you for reading. BTW not on a Keto Diet or any other diet here! #thelevelscoop #teamdiabetes #t1dlookslikeme #t1diabetes #diabetesuk #type1diabetesawareness #diabetesawareness #diabuddies #type1 #type1diabetic #insulinpump #blog #diabadass #beyondtype1 #diabetic #diabetes
