Diabetic Pantry Tour! Low Carb/Low Sugar Grocery System for our T1D Family of 7

Описание: #type1diabetes #lowcarb #lowsugar #diabetes

Feeding a family after a Type 1 Diabetes diagnosis can feel like learning an entirely new language—especially when you’re trying to balance blood sugar stability, food quality, emotional regulation, and a real-world grocery budget. On T1D Family, we focus on practical, sustainable systems that actually work in everyday life, and in this video I’m taking you inside our low-sugar, low-carb pantry to show exactly how we do that for a family of seven.

This is not a “perfect pantry.” This is a functional pantry—one designed to reduce blood sugar spikes, minimize constant corrections, and support calmer days and nights for T1D households. I walk through the sauces, fats, condiments, snacks, shelf-stable items, and specialty products we rely on, while also sharing what we’ve stopped buying, what didn’t work for our kids, and where we intentionally compromise for sanity and sustainability.

You’ll hear honest, real-life feedback on popular “keto,” “sugar-free,” and “diabetes-friendly” foods—what helped us, what caused issues (including erythritol reactions), and why we no longer label our approach as keto. Instead, we focus on low sugar, low carb, and low chaos.

On T1D Family, we talk openly about the emotional side of diabetes care as well. In this video, I share how anxiety after diagnosis impacted my own health, what helped us regulate nighttime stress, and why creating small, calming rituals matters just as much as carb counts.

If you’re looking for fear-based rules or perfection, this channel isn’t for that. T1D Family is about building calm, predictable routines that support both physical health and nervous system regulation—for parents and kids alike.
