Being out of routine doesn’t have to mean being out of range—but it does require a more intentional approach, especially when it comes to managing blood sugars. So in today’s episode, we’re sharing 3 tips to help you keep your blood sugars more stable with food, even when you’re outside your kitchen. Whether it's a vacation, a golf trip, a bachelorette weekend, a backyard barbecue, or a shift from school to summer break for your child with T1D, these changes can make nutrition and blood sugar management more complex. We're here to remind you that it’s not about being perfect—it’s about making progress, staying intentional, and learning your patterns so you can move from a reactive to a proactive mindset. The #1 thing we hope you take away from this episode is that feeling good about your blood sugars while living with freedom and flexibility is absolutely possible.
Quick Takeaways:

  • Lauren’s top three tips for keeping a stable blood sugar when she’s out of routine
  • How to identify your Minimum Viable Carb Count (MVC)
  • Living in a place of possibility versus limitation (and how to get there)
  • Being strategic with meal and snack/treat times to prevent BG spikes
  • Mindset shifts that are crucial for managing T1D out of your routine
