About Me

I Hacked Diabetes

My name is Oscar, and I'm the founder of I Hacked Diabetes, a website focused on low-carb, sugar-free recipes for people living with type 2 diabetes. Based in Toronto, Canada, I'm a food blogger and content creator who develops diabetic-friendly recipes that support better blood sugar control while still tasting good. My work is informed by formal education in natural nutrition and hands-on experience managing type 2 diabetes.

I created I Hacked Diabetes after being diagnosed with pre-diabetes following years of high-carb eating. Through testing different eating styles, I found that low-carb meals helped stabilize my blood sugar. That real-life experience shapes every recipe I publish, with a focus on practical, repeatable meals for everyday life with diabetes.

I've had the privilege of interviewing luminaries such as Megan Ramos and Andrea Lombardi from The Fasting Method, delving into discussions about the intersection of diet and diabetes management. You can catch the full interview right here.

My journey has also been featured in One Drop, where I've shared some of my favorite diabetic-friendly recipes, further spreading the message of delicious, wholesome-conscious eating.

Podcasts have provided another platform for me to share my experiences and expertise, including an engaging conversation with Matt and Megha from Keto Connect. Together, we've explored the nuances of managing diabetes through a ketogenic lens, offering practical tips and inspiration.

You can also dive deeper into my approach to diabetes management on Ketogenic.com, where an article delves into how I utilize keto principles to "hack" type 2 diabetes.

I know the struggle of standing in the kitchen wondering what you can eat that won't spike your blood sugar. That's why I've dedicated this space to sharing recipes that work for me-and might work for you too.

Today, my blood sugar levels remain stable, and I've successfully managed my diabetes naturally. With newfound energy and an enhanced quality of life, I'm committed to sharing these culinary creations with others, in the hopes that they too can experience the transformative benefits of mindful eating.

I invite you to explore the diverse categories of recipes available on the site, each crafted with care to cater to various tastes and preferences.

Thank you for visiting I Hacked Diabetes. May my recipes serve as both a guide and a source of inspiration on your journey.
