- [Your Best](https://sweethattrick.com/your-best/) - How many times did your parents tell you ‘You’ll never get a second chance to make a first impression.’ The number is likely higher than when my pod failed last week. And it's probably on par with the number of times I’ve told my own daughter that as she rolls out of bed and walks
- [Easter Do Over](https://sweethattrick.com/easter-do-over/) - While helping the boys get dressed on Monday morning, I ended up crushing a bunch of plastic eggs. Now before you go thinking, Ugh how horrible, they've still got plastic eggs in their rooms two weeks after Easter, I feel I need to set the record straight. They've actually only been there for less then
- [Technology Isn’t the Hard Part](https://sweethattrick.com/technology-isnt-the-hard-part/) - There’s a moment that sneaks up on you, but then hits you with the force of Mike Tyson in his prime (in the early part of his career, most fights with Iron Mike didn’t make it past the first round). It doesn’t happen when you first get diagnosed.It doesn’t happen when you first learn to
- [A Love Letter for Just Born Quality Confections](https://sweethattrick.com/a-love-letter-for-just-born-quality-confections/) - It’s the most wonderful time of the year… and no, I’m not talking about Christmas. It’s the day after Easter—when all the candy that didn’t sell suddenly feels like it was made just for me. Sure, there are chocolate bunnies, Reese’s Peanut Butter eggs, Cadbury eggs, and all the other creations made by the magical
- [Hidden Talents](https://sweethattrick.com/hidden-talents/) - ‘Daaaaad!”‘Yes, bud?’‘There’s a talent show at my school. I want to be in it.’ My heart immediately beamed with pride. My son wanted to showcase a talent—how cool is that? Will he sing? Play guitar? Juggle? …hold the phone. He doesn’t do any of those things. Does he even have a talent? (That sounded a
- [The Post I Didn't Write](https://sweethattrick.com/the-post-i-didnt-write/) - On Mondays, I try to get my post out. That gives me a week to share it across socials. Not because it’s convenient—but because it’s routine. And with diabetes, routine is about the closest thing you get to control. But a Monday post doesn’t happen on Monday. I know, based on the sheer brilliance of
- [Always Be Prepared](https://sweethattrick.com/always-be-prepared/) - I spent a good part of my youth in Scouts, but if we were ever lost in the woods and I had to rely on the navigation skills I supposedly learned there… we probably wouldn’t be getting home anytime soon. But I do remember the motto: “Always be prepared.” It’s actually good advice for almost
- [When Juvenile Diabetes Grows Up](https://sweethattrick.com/when-juvenile-diabetes-grows-up/) - Juvenile diabetes. That’s what we used to call it. Forty years ago, and wow, typing that makes me realize how old I am, type 1 diabetes was known as juvenile diabetes. Type 2 diabetes was called adult-onset diabetes. The names were simple, they described when you were supposed to get them. Life, of course, ignored
- [I Know My A1C. That Should Be Enough.](https://sweethattrick.com/i-know-my-a1c-that-should-be-enough/) - “I know my A1C.” Shouldn’t that be enough? Quick teaching moment. The hemoglobin A1C is a measurement that averages blood sugar levels over the past two to three months. Someone whose pancreas is not on permanent vacation typically has an A1C somewhere between the 4% and 5.5% range. Levels between 5.7% and 6.4% indicate prediabetes,
- [Managing Diabetes on a Snow Day](https://sweethattrick.com/managing-diabetes-on-a-snow-day/) - There’s a reason why hot chocolate and sugar cookies go so perfectly with snow. And it’s not because Nestlé runs a secret subliminal campaign that makes you grab cocoa mix along with the bottled water and rock salt when you hear a snowstorm is coming. (Although that would be pretty impressive.) It’s because if you’re
- [PBM Reform and Insulin Pricing: Progress, With Conditions ](https://sweethattrick.com/pbm-reform-finally-happened-so-why-am-i-still-nervous/) - Every once in a while, a healthcare headline comes along that makes people do a double-take. “FTC Secures Landmark Settlement with Express Scripts to Lower Drug Costs for American Patients.” That’s right. Landmark. Lower drug costs. Insulin. Accountability. Cue the record scratch. If you’ve spent any amount of time in the diabetes space, as a patient, parent, clinician, educator,
- [GLP-1s at a Crossroads: Safety, Access, and the Future of Care](https://sweethattrick.com/novo-nordisk-vs-hims-hers-protecting-patients-or-protecting-profits/) - When a pharmaceutical giant sues a telehealth company over weight-loss drugs, it sounds like the beginning of a streaming documentary. But this isn't entertainment. It’s healthcare, and it’s complex, consequential, and evolving in very visible ways. The recent lawsuit filed by Novo Nordisk against Hims & Hers is about much more than corporate drama. It sits at the crossroads of three very real
- [High Speed, High Stakes, High Precision: Hannah Schmidt and the Art of Balance](https://sweethattrick.com/high-speed-high-stakes-high-precision-hannah-schmidt-and-the-art-of-balance/) - At 4:00 a.m. EST on February 20th, most of North America will still be asleep. Coffee won’t be poured. Alarm clocks will still be threatening. Parents of kids with type 1 diabetes, myself included, may already be awake (but only half awake), checking a CGM graph glowing softly in the dark. And in Livigno, Italy,
- [Why Healthy Resolutions Fail](https://sweethattrick.com/why-healthy-resolutions-fail/) - If you read my article on January 12th and thought, “Okay, fine. I get it. Resolutions fail because I skip steps,” well, congratulations. You’ve already done more reflection than about 99.9% of humanity does before signing a gym contract in January. Today, we’re starting with intentions. Not resolutions. Not plans. Not color-coded spreadsheets (although that would be cool). Just intentions (i.e., the ingredients). And yes, I know what you’re thinking: Didn’t you just say in
- [Another Year of Progress and Perspective](https://sweethattrick.com/another-year-of-progress-and-perspective/) - As the calendar turns, I find myself thinking less about resolutions and more about reflection. Living and working in diabetes means every year brings new technology, new data, and new promises—but it also brings the same daily realities that don’t reset at midnight. It is, in many ways, an exciting time to have diabetes (did
- [It Doesn't Have to Be This Hard](https://sweethattrick.com/it-doesnt-have-to-be-this-hard/) - Sing to the tune of “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.” It’s the most frustrating time of the year, With resolutions we’re making, Little chance that they’re taking, Then back where we started — oh dear! Yes, it’s the most deflating time of the year. (Yes, this post will have a splash of humor added to it.)
- [Do You Advocate For Diabetes? ](https://sweethattrick.com/do-you-advocate-for-diabetes/) - If you're reading this blog, then you no doubt support diabetes-related causes, but support and advocacy are not the same. The difference isn’t desire; it’s action. To support something means you agree with it. I support plenty of things. Some are important, like world peace. Others… less world-changing, such as McDonald’s bringing back the 10-piece
- [The Year-End Diabetes Survival Guide (Part 2) ](https://sweethattrick.com/diabetes-insurance-denials-year-end-survival-guide-part-2/) - A Diabetes Educator’s Guide to Protecting Access to Care For people living with diabetes, the end of the year isn’t just about holidays — it’s often the most challenging time to access care. Insurance plan year changes, prior authorizations, formulary updates, and staffing shortages collide in December, creating delays and denials that can put insulin, continuous
- [The Year-End Diabetes Survival Guide (Part 1)](https://sweethattrick.com/the-year-end-diabetes-survival-guide-part-1/) - Protecting Your Meds, Devices & Sanity December is a beautiful, hectic, unpredictable month. Holiday schedules shift, clinics reduce hours, pharmacies get overwhelmed, and insurance systems suddenly decide it’s the perfect time to glitch. If you live with diabetes, you’re not imagining it; the end of the year is one of the most challenging times to navigate
- [Humor and Disability: When Is It Okay to Laugh?](https://sweethattrick.com/humor-and-disability-when-is-it-okay-to-laugh/) - Last week, while driving Owen to school, I needed a break, not from the morning chaos, but from the nonstop news cycle dominated by one particular individual (you know, the “greatest individual the world has ever seen”). So I switched over to Pure Comedy on Sirius XM, a clean stand-up channel that avoids vulgarity, which almost
- [Make Your Voice Matter](https://sweethattrick.com/make-your-voice-matter/) - Living with diabetes is a full-time job. Raising a child with diabetes is… in its most accurate definition, “overtime without the overtime pay.” And working in diabetes care means helping people navigate a condition that never takes a day off. One thing all of these roles have in common? They’ve shown me firsthand just how expensive diabetes
- [The Thanksgiving Edition: The Faces of Mount Glucosemore](https://sweethattrick.com/the-thanksgiving-edition-honoring-the-four-one-faces-of-mount-glucosemore/) - Thanksgiving always makes me pause and take stock of what truly matters. Yes, life can be chaotic, unpredictable, and occasionally feel like an endurance sport, but the core things that count? My health, my family’s health, and the ability to keep moving forward. Those are gifts I never take for granted. And since much of
- [Our Spaghetti-Night Scare](https://sweethattrick.com/our-spaghetti-night-scare/) - The evening started off normally enough. It was spaghetti night—also known as “let’s see how many carbs we can fit on one plate.” It’s one of the few meals where there are never leftovers. Peyton can eat through multiple plates of spaghetti without even blinking, and Owen likes to follow in his brother’s footsteps. Owen
- [The Night Diabetes Didn’t Stand a Ghost of a Chance](https://sweethattrick.com/the-night-diabetes-didnt-stand-a-ghost-of-a-chance/) - Halloween tests every parent’s patience —and pancreas. I fully admit to eating candy while walking my kids from house to house. You're lying to yourself if you don't. If only I could get you on a sensor. I remember thinking how hard it had been to chase three kids zig-zagging from house to house while treating my own
- [Sweet & Safe Halloween ](https://sweethattrick.com/sweet-safe-halloween/) - Halloween is a magical time — costumes, candy, and laughter everywhere. But for families managing diabetes, trick-or-treating can also feel like racing a sugar-fueled roller coaster blindfolded. Whether you’re navigating the night with type 1 diabetes (T1D) or supporting a child who is, here are a few diabetes-friendly Halloween tips to help you survive (and
- [Breakfast with HAL: When My Pod Talked Back ](https://sweethattrick.com/breakfast-with-hal-when-my-pod-talked-back/) - When you’ve had diabetes for a while, you start to think you know your diabetes. Sure, you have a smart pump, but you believe you're smarter. Maybe it’s because, in the early stages, we can feel when our blood sugars are low or high. Perhaps it’s because we've had it for so long that we
- [Talking Diabetes with Stacey Simms at Diabetes Connections](https://sweethattrick.com/talking-diabetes-with-stacey-simms-at-diabetes-connections/) - I didn’t exactly go into my interview with Stacey Simms brimming with confidence. There’s so much I could have talked about, living with diabetes, being a diabetes educator, parenting a child with diabetes, etc. My head was full of stories, stats, and the occasional attempt at humor. Rehearsing how to sound spontaneous never works the way you hope. But the thing about being
- [Would someone please put a pedometer in a pump?](https://sweethattrick.com/would-someone-please-put-a-pedometer-in-a-pump/) - You heard me. We need a pedometer in an insulin pump. And we needed it yesterday. Heck, maybe last week. Exercise doesn’t get the credit it deserves in diabetes management. There are plenty of reasons for that, but for now, let’s focus on this pump-plus-pedometer idea. After 46 years with diabetes, I can say with
- [I should play the lottery!](https://sweethattrick.com/i-should-play-the-lottery/) - It isn’t often that both mine and my son’s blood sugars are in range at the same time — in fact, it feels like catching a shooting star! But take a look at this screenshot from my phone: Owen’s number is on top, mine’s on the bottom. Both of us holding steady and right where
- [When High Blood Sugar Hijacks the Morning ](https://sweethattrick.com/when-high-blood-sugar-hijacks-the-morning/) - Snooze… Snooze… Oh No! The alarm had been buzzing for a while before I finally moved. Snooze… snooze again… and again. I lost count. When I finally lifted my head from the pillow, it was 6:30 AM. Oh no! I missed waking Kendall up for school. I staggered into the bright living room, dazed and confused, ready
- [Peyton's Race](https://sweethattrick.com/peytons-race/) - I’ve written often about my son Owen, but I also have two other incredible kids: Peyton, 15, and Kendall, 13. Diabetes affects them too, and of course, I worry they may develop it someday. But this story isn’t about diabetes. Today, it’s about Peyton. Peyton is on the autism spectrum and has ADHD. That combination
- [Counting Carbohydrates (& Cookies!)](https://sweethattrick.com/counting-carbohydrates-cookies/) - I don’t know if “counting carbohydrates” qualifies as an oxymoron, but it sure feels like one sometimes. One of my favorite pleasures in life is making cookies for my kids. The smell of them baking, the warmth in the kitchen—who doesn’t love that? What I don’t love is how hard food companies make it to
- [Another 12-hour run… that didn’t quite last 12 hours](https://sweethattrick.com/another-12-hour-run-that-didnt-quite-last-12-hours/) - This race was the 12-Hour Mooser Madness Endurance Run in Pennsburg, PA. The course was primarily single-track technical trail, with a few double-track sections mixed in. Think roots, rocks, dirt, mud, shade — all the fun things that come with trail running. It was a loop course: the same 6.2-mile circle, over and over, with
- [Glucose Tabs, & Karate Kicks: Fall Sports with a T1D Twist](https://sweethattrick.com/glucose-tabs-karate-kicks-fall-sports-with-a-t1d-twist/) - Fall Sports! If back-to-school means pencils, backpacks, and lunchboxes, it also means the return of the Foster Taxi—me shuttling kids off to their athletic adventures, armed with a stash of chips, fruit, and now, for Owen, glucose tabs. This year’s lineup: Soccer, Cross Country, and for my T1D warrior… Karate. Yup, I’m basically teaching the
- [Where the #%$& is his pump?!](https://sweethattrick.com/where-the-is-his-pump/) - The evening started easily enough. It was site change day. Owen was in the shower doing his “get the set wet so it can come off without taking any skin with it” routine. I was in the living room doing the switch-out thing — changing his infusion set and cartridge. He uses the Tru Steel,
- [When Diabetes Silences Your Words](https://sweethattrick.com/finding-words-in-the-middle-of-diabetes/) - It’s been a little while since I’ve written here, and I wanted to share why. It started with a horrible hyperglycemia episode caused by a kinked cannula—so bad that my eyelids hurt—that left me feeling pretty awful for a few days. Normally, I bounce back after episodes like that, but this time it pulled me
- [Carb Counts & Campfires: A T1D Camp Adventure](https://sweethattrick.com/carb-counts-campfires-a-t1d-camp-adventure/) - For those of you with diabetes - do you remember diabetes camp? I sure do. I went to a small camp in New Jersey called Camp Firefly. Its logo was a syringe-turned-firefly (do fireflies even have stingers, or was this a branding choice that only made sense in the 80s?). I can’t tell you how
- [Race Recap: Run PA Trail Jamboree ](https://sweethattrick.com/race-recap-run-pa-trail-jamboree/) - Ice bandannas, Bluetooth miracles, and one very stubborn blood sugar Last Saturday, I ran the 12-hour race at the PA Run Trail Jamboree. A running festival held in Newmanstown, PA. It was my first race since the 6-hour Trail Fest, and I was eager to put everything I'd learned into action. There were some real wins
- [Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill”: Not So Beautiful for Those with T1D](https://sweethattrick.com/trumps-big-beautiful-bill-not-so-beautiful-for-people-with-diabetes/) - Writing something political on my blog could be a recipe for disaster. The internet's full of people itching to pounce on a post they don't like—especially under the cloak of anonymity. But honestly? I'm still figuring out what Search Engine Optimization means, and barely anyone reads my blog. So I can say what I want. (Hi, Mom!)
- [Lazy River, Tired Kids, and a Lost Shoe: Tubing with Type 1](https://sweethattrick.com/lazy-river-tired-kids-and-a-lost-shoe-tubing-with-type-1/) - Last Saturday, it was hot (I know, mid-July—shocker). It had been a long week, and I hadn't really planned much (okay, anything) for the weekend. What to do? We could go to my mom's—she lives at the beach, and we always have a great time—but the thought of packing, organizing, and driving both ways was
- [Race Review: Coventry Woods Trail Running Festival Recap](https://sweethattrick.com/race-review-coventry-woods-trail-running-festival-recap/) - Trail Fest was a Hot Fest Let me start by saying: I am not a hot-weather runner. I have zero interest in running across Death Valley (Badwater) or the Sahara Desert (Marathon des Sables). But races like this? They're great prep for fall PRs and for reminding me what dehydration feels like. 😅 This past
- [Summer Exercise and T1D: Sweat, Sensors, & a Little Sanity](https://sweethattrick.com/summer-exercise-and-diabetes-sweat-sensors-and-a-little-sanity/) - Yesterday was my final prep run for the endurance race I've got coming up in a couple of weeks. (No need to share the distance—let's keep the illusion of balance alive a little longer.) When the temperature rises, so does the motivation to get outside and get moving. Whether you're walking, biking, chasing your kids
- [My Dad, the 'OG' of T1D Dads](https://sweethattrick.com/my-dad-the-original-gangster-of-diabetes-dads/) - A Father's Day Tribute — A Year Without My Dad It’s been about a year since my dad passed away. He died peacefully in the same hospital where I was born — in Atlantic City, NJ. As this Father's Day came and went, I knew I had to write something. A tribute. A thank-you. A
- [Sick Days & Spiky Sugars: When the Flu Thinks It’s in Charge ](https://sweethattrick.com/sick-days-and-spiky-sugars-when-the-flu-thinks-its-in-charge/) - It starts with a tickle in your throat. Then comes the sneezing. Then—WHAM—you’re full-blown sick. And just when you think your only problem is using half a box of tissues in five minutes, your CGM decides to throw a party. A high alarm party. At 3:00 AM. Because of course. Welcome to the glamorous world
- [For All Parents Who Exercise at Home—It Sure Ain't Easy](https://sweethattrick.com/for-all-the-parents-who-try-to-exercise-at-home-it-sure-aint-easy/) - I usually try to exercise in the morning when the kids are still asleep. It’s the one peaceful window I have before the chaos starts. But every now and then, I slip up and think, Hey, I can just work out later tonight. It'll be fine. And then I’m reminded—so clearly and so painfully—why that’s a terrible idea. Take
- ["Well, HI to You Too": A Parent’s Story of Passing on Type 1 Diabetes ](https://sweethattrick.com/well-hi-to-you-too-a-parents-story-of-passing-on-type-1-diabetes/) - Starting the Journey I thought I'd kick things off by starting with what really got me here. No, not my diagnosis — that's what pushed me toward working in diabetes. I mean, what got me here, stepping out of my comfort zone and trying out this whole writing thing (because clearly what the world needs is another
- [Blood Sugar Swings From The Sidelines.  ](https://sweethattrick.com/blood-sugar-swings-from-the-sidelines/) - “Owen wants to play soccer — I signed him up with Penn Fusion.” It was a simple text from his mother. It makes sense that he’d want to follow in his sister’s footsteps and play soccer. I was psyched to hear it. But I also knew that the real game — at least for me — would be managing his blood glucose before, during, and after every match.
- [Well That Didn't Go To Plan...](https://sweethattrick.com/well-that-didnt-go-the-way-i-planned/) - That’s the thing about diabetes: just when you think you've got it all figured out, you're reminded how little you really know. Case in point: I was still riding high from the success of my son's first soccer game with diabetes. I don't like to brag (who am I kidding, of course I do), but I had his blood sugars under 200 the whole game—which felt like a win. So when we rolled into the soccer fields the next Saturday morning, I was feeling confident. Surely we'd have the same success again.
- [Owen’s First “High”: A Rookie Parent’s Play-by-Play ](https://sweethattrick.com/owens-first-high-a-rookie-parents-play-by-play/) - It was bound to happen.Life with three kids is about as predictable as a puppy on espresso, and type 1 diabetes hates unpredictability. Still, when Owen’s continuous glucose monitor (CGM) flashed that first screaming-red HIGH since his diagnosis, my stomach turned like it never had before. I used to think having a high blood sugar
- [Time in Range: Like Herding Blood Sugar Cats ](https://sweethattrick.com/time-in-range-like-herding-blood-sugar-cats/) - Let me tell you a story about an imaginary friend named Gluco who lives inside my son’s body. Gluco is... well, let’s just say he has a flair for the dramatic. One minute he’s chilling on the couch—blood sugar levels in the happy zone. The next, he’s sprinting up the walls like he just had
- [Race Report: Capital Backyard Ultra ](https://sweethattrick.com/race-report-capital-backyard-ultra/) - (...or, How I Packed Everything but the Kitchen Sink—wait, no, I packed that too.) Last week, I wrote a race preview for a race I planned to run over Memorial Day. This is my entry after the race. So I ran the race. Where to start? Well I got to the race the day before it started. I
- [Words Matter: Why I’m Letting My Son Decide If He’s “Diabetic”](https://sweethattrick.com/words-matter-why-im-letting-my-son-decide-if-hes-diabetic/) - When Owen is ready, there’s something important I want him to know—something I still wrestle with myself. The word “diabetic” gets used a lot. Some say it casually, others with concern or care, and many without much thought. But language matters. And how he chooses to feel about it is entirely up to him.
- [“No, You Can’t Catch Diabetes From a Hug”](https://sweethattrick.com/no-you-cant-catch-diabetes-from-a-hug/) - A Public Service Story Featuring Confused Uncles, Misinformed Gym Buddies, and Science It started like many things do—with a family barbecue, an overcooked hot dog, and my Uncle Ron asking if he needed to use separate utensils so he wouldn’t “catch the diabetes.” Now, in Uncle Ron’s defense, he once asked if gluten was a
- [Race Preview: Coventry Woods Trail Running Festival](https://sweethattrick.com/racepreview-trailfest-is-a-fun-fest/) - TrailFest is going to be a Fun Fest Another day, another race to run. This weekend, instead of attending the American Diabetes Association's Scientific Sessions, I'll be out on the trails at the Coventry Woods Trail Running Festival in Pottstown, PA. (I really can't afford Sci Sessions, but it makes me feel better to say I had
- [ADA Sci Sessions Review](https://sweethattrick.com/ada-sci-sessions-review/) - Last weekend was the American Diabetes Association's Scientific Sessions, the world's largest diabetes conference – it's a chance to find out about the latest and greatest advances in diabetes treatment, research, and tech. I did not attend; I'd like to say it was because I had a running race planned (in which I placed second
- [ADA Scientific Sessions Tech Updates](https://sweethattrick.com/ada-scientific-sessions-tech-updates/) - The American Diabetes Association's 85th Scientific Sessions were held last weekend, and I promised I would write another review devoted to diabetes tech. If you're interested in fewer finger pricks and more freedom, there was a lot to get excited about. From longer-lasting sensors to more innovative, sleeker pumps, here's your friendly guide to the most significant
- [Barbie’s Got a Pump—and the Avengers Have a T1D Sidekick: Why Representation Matters](https://sweethattrick.com/barbies-got-a-pump-and-the-avengers-have-a-t1d-sidekick-why-representation-matters/) - Let’s be honest: for most of my life with type 1 diabetes—diagnosed at age 7—it was invisible in toys, games, and pop culture. Now, as a dad to a 10-year-old son who also has T1D, I see how much that kind of representation matters. Unless you count Wilford Brimley’s infamous "diabeetus" commercials—yeah, I still have
- [The Case of the Disappearing Blood Sugar (Or Was It?) ](https://sweethattrick.com/the-case-of-the-disappearing-blood-sugar-or-was-it/) - I woke up a few minutes before my alarm, and for a fleeting moment, everything felt right in the world. I stretched in bed, smiled at the peace, and thought, How lucky am I to have a few quiet moments to myself? Ah, yes, everything was good. (If the peaceful first sentence didn't tip you off, calamity was definitely
- [Tandem Mobi Review: Small Pump, Big Kid Energy ](https://sweethattrick.com/tandem-mobi-review-small-pump-big-kid-energy/) - When your kid is on an insulin pump—and also happens to believe he’s part trampoline athlete, part stuntman, and part water-spraying backyard engineer—you quickly learn how much a diabetes device can (or can’t) keep up.
- [Race Preview: Capital Backyard Ultra](https://sweethattrick.com/capital-backyard-ultra-a-race-like-no-other/) - On Memorial Day weekend, I plan to take on a wild challenge — the Capital Backyard Ultra. For those who are unfamiliar, a Backyard Ultra is a distinctive type of ultramarathon. The course is 4.167 miles (6.706 kilometers for my friends in Europe… and pretty much the rest of the world outside the U.S.). Why 4.167 miles? Good question.
