Hi, I’m Michelle

I started Whole Hearty Kitchen to make diabetes-friendly eating feel simpler, calmer and more enjoyable.

After my daughter’s Type 1 diabetes diagnosis, I experienced firsthand how overwhelming food advice can be. But focusing on whole foods, balanced plates and sugar-free treats has helped us support blood sugars without restriction.

Here you’ll find recipes, real-life tips and gentle guidance to help you eat well with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, or support someone you love.
