EP 16 - Your Diabetes & Exercise Questions Answered

Keeping It 100 Radio: Uncensored Diabetes Conversations

With knowledge is power, with knowledge is more options and with knowledge is flexibility. I believe that with type one diabetes, we shouldn't have to, we shouldn't have to tie ourselves down to a structure with exercise or lifestyle simply because it works for our blood sugar. We should have the options in front of us to make it work for us and our bodies, our goals and our preferences.

Inside this episode, I'm diving deep into blood sugar and exercise far beyond the oversimplification of "bring a juice box" so you can finally have interruption-free workouts. I'm going to give you the three biggest things I learned in my personal training certification that I've applied to my diabetes and exercise journey.
