Living your best life with diabetes. Toby Smithson provides professional guidance with personal experience.
How are you sleeping? Are you getting 7 to 8 hours of restful sleep each night? If not you could be sabotaging your hard work managing medicine, diet and exercise. In this video Toby explains how inadequate sleep can cause imbalances in blood sugar and blood pressure, and offers some tips on improving your sleep.
If you want to watch your #carbs, start by limiting those sneaky carbs ( you probably won’t miss them).

Happy Labor Day! And it just got better because today I received #samples of the new single serving of @superseedzofficial . These single serving packs are perfect for my between meal snacking with 3-4 grams #carb and 7-8 grams #protein per serving. ❤️ Im lol over here because I couldn’t wait till I finished taking the photo before having a bite! diabetesfriendly #plantbased #vegan #vegetarian #favoritesnack #snack #diabeteslife #goodeats #balancedbloodsugar #gourmetpumpkinseeds
Found a way to celebrate receiving an award from @adcesdiabetes for our time given as #mediaspokespeople to the organization. @melissajoyrd and I have a history serving as @eatright_pro #spokespeople too.

Loved being nice and cozy to film this #youtubevideo. Perfect timing to post this important topic on #sleep especially after hearing about a sleep and #diabetes study today. “Patients who reported adequate sleep were more likely to improve diabetes knowledge and diabetes outcomes and those with higher motivation to change, had more adequate sleep.” See #youtube link in bio.

It’s #fig season! Never let your meals be boring. Add new flavors by using #cafigs in your recipes. Built a spinach salad w figs,slivered almonds, mozzarella cheese, and balsamic vinegar dressing for lunch today. Nutrition highlights...4 fresh figs =29g carbs; 4g fiber; 53mg calcium; 1mg iron; 348mg potassium 👏 Many fresh fig varieties in addition to dried figs 😋 #TDBox @cafigs @todaysdietitianmagazine #sponsoredmailing
Lunch time! Does anybody else like cutting their sandwich vs eating it whole? This sandwich is totally #comfortfood when you slice it. This is my kind of meal for #diabetesmanagement - #wholegrainbread + #protein (#egg) + lots of #veggies #sandwichmonth #eggenthusiast #eggnutrition #nationalsandwichmonth #diabetes #diabetesfriendly #diabetesfriendlyfood @egg.nutrition
The Fall issue of #diabeticlivingmagazine has arrived. It’s both a thrill and honor to be a columnist and serve on the advisory board for this beautiful and informative magazine. The thrill comes with my journey of keeping my #diabetes a secret for many many years to now writing and talking freely about this condition. Thank you @duffystar and @micaela_a_young for being such great, caring, and fun people to work with. You are the best! #meredithcorporation #diabetesmanagement #change #type1diabetes #type2diabetes #diabetestype1 #diabetestype2 #type1 #type2 #diabetescommunity #diabetesonlinecommunity #diabeteslife #diabetesredefined #youcandothis

Perfect pairing. We went kayaking this weekend but it had to be scheduled during the mealtime hours. No problem. I brought a chilled #Splenda Diabetes Care shake w a perfect combo of carbs (15g) and protein (16g) to keep my energy levels up. Result...Blood sugars stayed in target and we were able to see Roseate Spoonbill birds and manatees!

Lights, camera, two laptops, one big screen monitor, and action. ✅ Recording my ADCES presentation is completed for the annual (digital) conference. Much different experience than presenting in person. #newnorm @adcesdiabetes #diabetes #lowcaloriesweetener
