Diabetes Dietitian, Exercise and diabetes, Pregnancy in Diabetes, Registered Dietitian

Be the best T1D you can be! Over the next several months I will be hosting a series of T1D workshops to help you do just that 🙂 Hi friends! This is a short post just to inform you all of a unique opportunity for my T1D peeps. Why T1D Workshops As mentioned above, I have developed multiple workshops to explore all things T1D.
