  • Why Blood Sugar Has Nothing To Do With Food
    Feb 11 2026

    We’re often told blood sugar is all about what we eat, but that’s only part of the story.

    Hormones, stress, sleep, and daily habits all play a major role in how our body manages glucose.

  • They Told Her Diabetes Can’t Be Controlled (Jean Kurtz)
    Feb 3 2026

    They told her diabetes can’t be controlled.

    She almost believed them.

    After donating a kidney to her husband, Jean was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, sent home with insulin… and
    very little hope. Fear, restriction, guilt, and burnout followed.

    Until one mindset shift changed everything

    • Diabetes isn’t a life sentence.
    • Blood sugar isn’t pass/fail — it’s data.
    • Freedom is possible.

    This conversation is raw, honest, and full of hope — especially if you’re newly diagnosed or tired of just “getting by.”

  • Why Blood Sugar Feels Random (And Why It Isn’t)
    Jan 27 2026

    If you’ve ever done the same thing two days in a row and gotten completely different blood sugar results, this is for you.

    That “randomness” isn’t failure—it’s missing context.

    I break down why blood sugar feels unpredictable and how understanding timelines can reduce burnout and anxiety with diabetes.
