Hello, Friend.

When I was diagnosed with diabetes more than twenty years ago, I did what most people do.

I counted carbs. I read books. I listened to experts. I worked incredibly hard.

And still — some days nothing made sense. The same breakfast could give me two completely different results.

Long before I became a diabetes coach, I was a pastry chef. Which meant I wasn't willing to accept that living well with diabetes meant giving up every food I loved.

So instead of asking "What can't I eat?" — I started asking "Why did that happen?"

That single question changed everything.

Little by little, I stopped chasing perfect numbers and started collecting clues. I learned that blood sugars aren't random. They're conversations. Every meal, every walk, every stressful day, every sleepless night was telling me something.

Once I learned how to listen, diabetes became far less mysterious.

Today I still live this every single day. I still experiment. I still celebrate when I find a new pattern.

Because I genuinely believe understanding is far more powerful than memorizing rules.

That's why I created My A1C Coach.
