![#24 Do you have to restrict carbs to manage blood sugar with diabetes? [Intuitive diabetes management with Amanda Ciprich, RD]](https://behindthebinge.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/24-web.png)
Are you trying to manage diabetes with your diet? What if I told you that you could ditch dieting and lower your blood sugar at the same time?
That sounds crazy, right? You are probably thinking “yeah.. I could do that but my numbers would be crazy and my medical team would NOT be happy with me!.”
Well, what if I told you that you could eat what you want when you want…including sugar… WHILE reducing your A1C and enjoying the freedom to enjoy your life again!
On the show today, I’m talking with a fellow intuitive eating dietitian, Amanda Ciprich about how to manage your diabetes intuitively!
Amanda Ciprich is a registered dietitian who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes almost 10 years ago. During the early stages of her diagnosis, she felt herself going down a path of restriction and obsession, which left her feeling weighed down and consumed by her diabetes diagnosis. She craved the freedom to enjoy her life without diabetes getting in the way and knew there had to be a way to find her love for food once again.
Amanda ultimately decided to pursue a career as a registered dietitian to teach other people living with diabetes and their families how to manage their blood sugars without giving up the foods they love. Amanda’s approach gives you tools that incorporate prioritizing yourself mentally, emotionally, and physically so you can navigate any scenario that life with diabetes throws at you.
