Dexcom G6 Sensor Cover

 Wanted to share a cool little gadget I found on Amazon to help change overtape easier on G6 sensors. Put the senor/transmitter on like usual. Then you put this little plastic shield on (it's not sticky...it just sits on top). Then you put the overtape on. Samuel went his usual 5 days before the edges start lifting, but the overtape peeled right off and the sensor tape looked perfect underneath.

The 1st time we see used the free, clear overtape provided by Dexcom. It's barely bigger then the shield, but it still stayed on for 5 days. (Samuel isn't an athletic kid though!) He didn't like seeing the shield through the tape, so next time we used a nude patch which covers it better too.

Mexican Pizza

 πŸ‡²πŸ‡½πŸ• Delicious low carb, grain-free Mexican pizza πŸ‡²πŸ‡½πŸ•

Start with a low carb, grain-free pizza crust. Top with salsa, cheese (I use a mix of mozzarella and sharp cheddar), and top with browned taco meat. Broil for about 8 minutes until cheese is browned. Let cool a bit, cut, and top with sour cream and whatever else you like.  

Super easy and so freakin' delicious! πŸ˜‹

Minecraft Birthday Cake

Turned Birch Benders Keto cake mixes & icing, and some food coloring into a LC Minecraft birthday cake. My grass block decorating leaves a lot to be desired, but the kids loved it, and it was tasty!

Note about the icing. Out if the container I thought it was pretty gross (being honest here). But then I added a block of softened cream cheese and whipped it until light and fluffy. It was prettyπŸ‘ŒπŸ»that way.

Hard to believe Samuel is 11!!! πŸ’œ Next month he'll have been T1 diabetic for 10 years. Low carb for 9 years.
