About this site

My name is Ryan. I was diagnosed with Type One Diabetes over a year and a half ago, and with this new part of my life come some immense challenges. A major one being with food and carbohydrates. Ever since I have been diagnosed, I've had to completely rethink my approach to eating. Constantly balancing what I eat with my insulin levels, and adjusting to the fact that something as simple as a sandwich can affect the rest of my day in ways that I never experienced before. It's a constant learning process, trying to find the right balance, and some days it feels like I'm just guessing. Even though I've gotten better at managing it, the unpredictability of how my body will respond can still throw me off. But with these recipes, it should help not just me but others with the same problems to learn to cook these simple and delicious low carb meals.

The name “Going Low” was chosen for this site in reference to trying to eat lower carb meals but it also refers to a condition in Type 1 Diabetic’s when the blood glucose level is going low.
