Hey, I’m Neil (@thebetes on Insta📱). I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes during flight training in the U.S. Air Force. And let me tell you—managing T1D felt like a full-time job. The highs, the lows, the second-guessing… it was exhausting.
For years, I felt like I was always reacting, always behind. No one ever handed me a game plan—just a bunch of numbers & carb ratios. Sound familiar?
I started Your Best T1D Year—to help people like us simplify diabetes management & stop feeling like it’s running our lives. You don’t need more overwhelming advice—you need real, practical strategies that actually fit into your day.
If that’s what you’ve been looking for, you’re in the right place!
Managing T1D isn’t about being perfect - it’s about finding what works & doing it consistently.
*here are two simple things you can start right now!
THE Water Habit
Drinking six 8oz glasses of water a day can actually help with high blood sugars (yes, really) 🤯 I’ll show you how.Stop Over-treating Lows
If you’re tired of rebounding after every low, this challenge will help you break the cycle🤤(and save you from inhaling the entire kitchen at 2 AM).☝️ Grab these free PDFs and start making small changes that actually help.
T1D can feel like a solo mission—but you don’t have to do it alone.
Each week, I send out practical tips, encouragement, and a reminder that you’re not failing—you’re learning.
Let’s be real—T1D is way easier when you’ve got people who “get it" in your corner.
I’ve got real talk, quick tips, and a little humor on social media because managing diabetes doesn’t have to be boring.
