There are multiple reasons I am doing the Goggins Challenge as a Type-1 Diabetic.

One of these is to observe what happens to my diabetes management in a state of constant physical stress and sleep deprivation.

In this article, I cover all the aspects I considered to nail the challenge as a plant based type-1 diabetic.

Read on as I share all the details of my plan!

This half marathon was an occasion for me to test and improve my diabetes management strategy. The goal is always to achieve perfect time in range.

It didn’t go as planned, but I have learned a HUGE lesson. The problem is not carbohydrates. It’s the management of emotions (fear in particular).

Type 1 Diabetes is all about planning and knowing what to do depending on the circumstances. I am good at crafting Plan As, but not so much when it comes to Plan Bs, Cs, Ds.

These are equally important, and I am using endurance races to get my planning reps in.

Let me share how I am testing multiple diabetes strategies in my next training race, the Trieste Half Marathon!

I have read and applied The Glucose Goddess Method’s tips for managing blood glucose as a high-carb Type 1 Diabetic. Here are my honest thoughts after putting the Blood Glucose Hacks to the test.

Last week was “code red”. This week I got back in charge, fixed my bad habits and my health. Here’s how!

My worst week of type 1 diabetes management in years, how I created the recipe for disaster and how I came out of it.

Last week we talked about the factors we can act on in order to prevent the burnouts that often originate in life with diabetes.

This week, I share how I deploy that philosophy in my daily life, especially on tougher days when my Type 1 Diabetes starts to become hard to control.

Dealing with Type 1 Diabetes has no easy fix. Let me articulate the mental shift that, over the years, has made me a better diabetic, a better steward of my health, and an happier person…

…and that has enabled me to achieve what I previously labelled as impossible.

Full recap of my 2024 Rome Marathon with Type-1 diabetes!

How I carb loaded, what went (slightly) wrong with my insulin and blood glucose management, and how I handled it.

Many new learnings on my quest for Type-1 Diabetes Mastery!

What do a type-1 diabetic avoiding carbohydrates because they spike blood glucose and a runner avoiding running because running hurts your knees have in common?

They are both hiding and escaping a problem instead of understanding it and fixing it.

I used to be that diabetic and that runner. Until I wasn't. Let me share my experience and growth.
