Welcome to I Hacked Diabetes! This corner of the internet is dedicated to my passion: crafting delicious recipes that are both low in carbs and perfect for those managing diabetes. If you’re looking to indulge in flavorful meals without worrying about blood sugar spikes, you’ve come to the right place.
I'm Oscar, proud to call Toronto, Canada, my home base. My journey with diabetes management began when I received a pre-diabetes diagnosis, a wake-up call during my days as a self-proclaimed carboholic.
It wasn't until later that I stumbled upon the transformative power of embracing a low-carb lifestyle to effectively manage my condition. Through tireless experimentation with various dietary approaches, I uncovered the strategies that worked best for me. In 2017, I embarked on the journey of crafting low-carb recipes, determined to prove that diabetic-friendly meals can be both delicious and satisfying.
In addition to my culinary explorations, I've actively engaged with the low-carb community, seeking out insights and expertise wherever possible.
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.
Furthermore, I've shared my insights as a panelist at the Low Carb Lifestyle Show, contributing to discussions aimed at empowering individuals to take control of their health through informed dietary choices.
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, health-conscious eating.
Additionally, I've lent my voice to a World Diabetes Campaign with Viasox, addressing commonly searched questions about diabetes management. You can watch the insightful campaign in its entirety.
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.
And if you're looking for even more guidance on managing diabetes through lifestyle changes, don't miss out on my book, "Managing Type 2 Diabetes with a Low Carb Lifestyle and Exercise," available on Amazon. In it, I share in-depth insights, practical tips, and strategies to help you navigate your journey toward better health. You can also find out more on my Amazon Author Page.
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.
