My Pump Break 2020

Pump Break 2020 - Type 1 Thursday

Have you ever taken a pump break?

I recently had a six week break from my insulin pump, and I’m not going to lie, going back to MDI (multiple daily injections) wasn’t as easy as I thought!

In this episode of #type1thursday, I share my reasons why, pros and cons of MDI, getting back in the pump, as well as my note-to-self for next time (hint: all of it exciting, none of it smooth…)

My #pumpbreak 2020 – Hanna Boëthius

Share your experiences with me, about pump breaks, MDI vs pump or what you’re most comfortable with?

Tuna Meatzza

Tuna Meatzza - Type 1 Thursday

I’m making one of my favorite low carb pizzas – tuna meatzza 🍕 (yes, that means the base is made out of canned tuna!)

Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it! 😋 It’s full of delicious protein, fat and some carbs. And – it’s delicious. It’s also the first time I ever cook in front of the camera. 🐒 This week’s #type1thursday is something else…

Let’s go!

Ps. If you want to watch the whole Cook & Chat (not just the recipe), click here to watch it on my Facebook page!

Tuna Meatzza – Type 1 Thursday – Hanna Boëthius

Tuna Meatzza Recipe

Tuna Meatzza base

2 cans of tuna in brine/natural
1 egg 2 tbsp cream cheese
ca 0.5 dl grana padano cheese

Mix all of it until it becomes a smooth mix. Flatten out between two parchment papers, pre-cook in the oven at 180 Celcius (355 Fahrenheit) for 10-15 minutes.

Meatzza Sauce

1,5 dl Ajvar (turkish vegetable sauce)
1 tbsp tomato puree
1 tsp concentrated bone broth
italian herbs
garlic powder
onion powder
a splash of water

Let simmer until it forms a nice pizza sauce

Tuna Meatzza Toppings

Mozzarella cheese (shredded, without starches!) You can use fresh, too, but it gets waterier.
1 red onion
black olives 😋

After pre-cooking the pizza base, spread on the sauce, followed by the toppings and put it back in the oven for about 10 mins.

Enjoy a low carb, nutritious and delicious meatzza! 🍕 🤤

Diabetes & Discrimination?

Type1Thursday - Diabetes & Discrimination

I’m sure you (too) have a story about discrimination against you because you had diabetes?

On today’s #type1thursday, I want to hear your stories!

What brought this on was a very unfortunate ad by the police in Hamburg, Germany, where they appealed to people to call the police of they saw someone injecting themselves. With the headline “Insulin or Heroin?” Wow. Ouch! (see the image below!)

I share a few instances of my own experience with diabetes & discrimination, perhaps you can relate to some of them, too?
