HEALTHY GRANOLA BARS FOR STABLE BLOOD SUGAR // Bake with me T1D

[@fionanicholson2148]

Those looks delicious and yes I also subtract fibre from the carbs. I was taught that by my dietician. Thanks for the recipe Michelle :)

[@MichelleLord]

Thank you so much Fiona!! :)

[@poetato18]

The fibre bars I eat are 7 grams per bar, but 9 grams of sugar each! I'm going to try this super easy and tasty looking recipe - thanks Michelle!

[@TypeOneTalks]

Thank you for sharing this recipe Michelle! Looks delicious! Will definitely have to try this out!

[@MichelleLord]

Thanks! I'm happy to share :)

[@TheJenBell]

Thank you! Can’t wait to try these. I have been missing your videos.

[@sarahgrieves1577]

Here in the UK the fibre is already subtracted from the carbs on the nutritional label :)

[@nessg4441]

Yuuuuummmmm! 😋 Oatmeal spikes my sugar so bad no matter how much I bolus or give myself a tiny (extra) insulin. But I need to make these bars! Thanks for the recipe!! This video also taught me how to go about counting carbs for whole recipes! 🤪

[@rockingguitar2050]

They are so delish, I will add a little more oatmeal so they are not so sticky and difficult to put in the pan. My favorite. I’m type 2 diabetes so great snack.❤️❤️❤️

[@katiepetersen4929]

Mmmm, looks good. I’m definitely going to make some. I can’t believe these are no bake. Thanks. Fun quick video.

[@MichelleLord]

Yeah it's pretty quick and easy, which is nice :) ! I'm glad you enjoyed!

[@ThePJmommy]

Great video Michelle. I love how you walked us through everything. Please please do more like this! Oh and yes I'm going to try these :)

[@maisiem6334]

Hi Michelle, i'm 17 and I've had t1d for just over a year now. I've literally binged almost every single one of your daily vlogs aha. just want to say thanks for all of your videos, it feels so nice to be able to relate to someone

[@MichelleLord]

Ahhh thanks so much Maisie! I'm so happy you like my vids! It's so interesting because a lot of other T1Ds I know were not taught to subtract fibre! Maybe it doesn't matter after all haha

[@fishheadone5580]

Hi, I really like how the numbers worked out to powers of 2 (math head here) and that you added the carbs the way you did.....excellent way to calculate the carbs AND eating high quality food, real food, not synthetic sugars.....we need more of this for all of us external insulin professionals! Stay safe!

[@franciscachesca]

Great recipe! Will try it! Thank you!

[@daniellec8849]

We don't subtract for fiber. Love all of your videos!

[@extraXneous]

Great stuff! I was told by my current endocrinology team to leave the carb account alone in my bolus (so I have success NOT subtracting for fibre)!

[@srussell8141]

I will definitely try these out thank Michael

[@MichelleLord]

Hope you like them :)

[@ICS-mh6ck]

Hey Michelle! So good to see that you've uploaded. I am 19 and also a type 1 diabetic. I live in the U.S., and I have been inside for 3 months, and my mom only leaves every three weeks to get groceries. Is your husband still staying at home as well? Are you still wiping down groceries? Does your husband shower and clean the bathroom after he comes home from the grocery store?

[@amberraesmith4683]

I loved learning about how to bake these!!!!!! 16 times 16 - so cool!!!!!!!!!!

[@melaniefida1118]

Loved this video! I would love to see more cooking videos on your channel 😊

[@MichelleLord]

Thank you! I am not someone who is really into baking/cooking, but I will try to include some more of these 😘

[@johnb4183]

Excellent , is the maple syrup you are using sweetened with sugar (not a cook) ? Cannot remember the last time I ate maple syrup. Thanks for sharing.............

[@alexb.1320]

I've never subratacted for fibre. Wasn't a thing when I was diagnosed. But I can tell you, that if I subtracted for fibre, I'd be under bolusing based on how my b.s. reading are following eating. I'm gonna have to try those. Certainly better carb numbers than those tiny things that come out of a box.

[@kimhaiser]

yes yes yes! please keep doing videos like this! And no I personally do not subtract fibre.

[@MichelleLord]

Thank you! I will try to make some more 😊

[@SuraDoes]

Complex carbs are not bad for you, simple carbs can be. I can’t wait to make this granola bar :)

[@gmonk2610]

Awesome video again Michelle! Just other day I was thinking of making Granola balls(just small round shaped for quick bite). This video has given me inspiration to do that now 😃 And I don't subtract fibre and it works for me somehow 🤔

[@MichelleLord]

Yay I'm glad I gave you some inspiration! A lot of people don't subtract fibre and it works out haha. I'm starting to think it doesn't make a significant difference.

[@lindarumbelow3166]

Looks so yummy!!!

[@hammerenhank381]

Hi Michelle, looks great and I am in the USA and these look great I have had t1d for 44 years. I was diagnosed at 2 years old. These look great and I am going to give making them a shot. Ty again and last thing I wanted to know the pump you have? Do you like it? I have the Medtronic 670 G and am up for a new one and am considering switching to a different pump. Please let me know if you have any other videos on this and keep up the great video's.

[@MichelleLord]

Hi Hank! I am on the t:slim X2 :). I have quite a few videos on my pump and how I chose my pump.

I add a little bit of dry fruit and use zero carbs honey and and protein poweder, nuts and i do not use any oats.

Will have to try this!! I do not subtract fiber.

By hook or by crook I'll try this out Thanks Michelle 🥀❤

[@albertosbrolla8424]

Looks great, thanks for sharing!👍

[@claudiad1536]

Can I add All Bran flakes. I had gastric bypass and I need extra fiber to keep me regular. I try to keep the salt to a minimum, can I cut out the salt? Also, you didn't mentioned if the coconut flakes are unsweetened?

[@adrian29459]

Looking really tasty! In UK we'd probably call these flapjacks though we'd bake them for 20mins. Will keep that website bookmarked

[@MichelleLord]

Haha so interesting, when I hear flapjack it means pancake 😜

[@beckysmith2346]

Trying to find things for my husband to snack on.

[@MichelleLord]

These are great because they keep me full! But if you are looking for things to snack on that are easy on the blood sugar, nuts are a great option (if you aren't allergic of course)!

[@indianindian2788]

Thanks for the recipe , Dear as it is not baked,what are the chances of melting in hot whether if taken to work?

[@MichelleLord]

I'm not sure of this because I've never taken it into hot weather - Sorry!

[@mafamafa1281]

“This girl loves carbs” 😂😍😍

[@ArtFriendly]

Was taught to subtract carbs but actually forgot lol. I usually just wing it. However, it depends on the type of food I am eating, bg levels, etc.

[@pickledrick5158]

Fiber does raise BG but it takes a long time similar to protein. Only insoluble fiber like vegetables skins does not add carbs as it not absorbed and sent to the bloodstream. Thats the number I subtract from my total carbs.

[@MichelleLord]

Thanks for the info! :)

[@pickledrick5158]

@@MichelleLord You are welcome! It is hard to see the effect as simple carb and sugar raise BG in minutes, fiber can take up to 2 hrs and it happens slow like +0.2 mmol here, + 0.3 mmol later and so it is hard to see it happen. Similar to protein slow steady raise. Insoluble can't be broken to glucose that one just gets out and helps with bowel movements.

[@lindseyquennell1457]

I live in Ottawa, Ontario and my diabetes team has me including fibre in carb counting.

[@Nemrac92]

I subtract Fibre and when I joined a diabetes group online was shocked some people don't do that. it seems to work for me. I know some people say if they don't blush's for the fibre they will go high. I also heard some people bolus for caffein like coffee, and protein What would be a good substitute for coconut? I really dislike coconut taste and texture.

[@DayStation]

As a future food scientist, can I ask why you subtract the fiber from the carbs?

[@dariadaria3728]

Michelle, what kind of pump clip do you use? i don`t like the original one.

[@MichelleLord]

Hey! I use a cellphone clip! I talk about it in this video :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3ypdHaKaZ5_mcU

[@elifdesimone854]

I subtract carbs from my count, was advised to subtract for over 5grams of carbs.

[@worthybookjourney3231]

These look yummy. Off topic but one day recently you said that your Dexcom was "killing" (figure of speech I know) you. I would be interested to know what it was doing.

[@MichelleLord]

Haha I don't remember saying that. Was it in my Instagram story? I recently posted a story about how my Dexcom said I was low, but I actually wasn't, so maybe that was it 😆

[@worthybookjourney3231]

@@MichelleLord yeah that was probably it.

[@mannaforlife829]

So are you taking more insulin if it is high fiber or less insulin. I’ve had type 1 for 24 years and never heard of this.

[@MichelleLord]

Less because I'm subtracting the fibre to get net carbs. But just do as you were taught or whatever is working for you. A lot of T1Ds aren't taught to subtract fibre when they carb count and are doing fine :)

[@joannecummings5443]

Hi Michelle I abslootly love your videos. I think I am missing some of your videos. When was the last video you posted.

[@MichelleLord]

Hey Joanne! Thank you so much! I haven't posted for about a month. I've been pretty busy with work, but I have some more videos coming up soon, so stay tuned :)

[@Lobstrique]

it's so crazy that a bar with maple syrup doesn't get you high, i always thought stuff like that inevitably leads to high bs!

[@user-wk7iq1yf4w]

I really don't see how can people carb count and not subtract the fiber (unless they only eat food with little fiber in it, so it doesn't make much of a difference). Fiber is something we don't digest, so we can't metabolise it. It can't raise your blood sugar.

[@debbiewithtype1diabetes559]
