CrossFit with Type 1 Diabetes: Dr. Luke Palmisano PH235

At just seven years old, Luke Palmisano was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.  Nearly 35 years later, he’s an ER physician, avid CrossFit athlete, father, and former collegiate wrestler, and he’s learned quite a bit by modifying his lifestyle to help reduce complications from the condition.

In this episode, we talk about how diabetes has impacted so many aspects of his life, how he’s navigated the unique challenges of cutting weight for wrestling and beginning CrossFit,  what his experience in the emergency room has been like in the midst of the covid pandemic, and even how his service dog helps him monitor his blood sugar!
