Completing an Ironman with type 1 diabetes was... challenging to say the least.

In fact, there were a few occassions where if an aggressive decision I made went differently...

I might not have finished the race at all.

In today's episode - by popular demand, I walk through, step by step, moment by moment - every blood sugar, insulin decision, and strategy I used in order to complete 140.6 miles of endurance triathlon in what I can now say was the hardest day of my life.

If you enjoy diabetes details, you're gonna love this one.

Ultra-Endurance Athletics, just like real life with diabetes, require the skill of adaptation.

A few days ago I completed my first ever Ironman race.

Over the course of the 140.6 miles of mental and physical battles, I encountered a FEW diabetes disasters that required me to think on my feet..

And ultimately make some decisions that were quite dangerous and could have landed me in the hospital.All things considered, I'm lucky to have finished...

So in today's episode, I share the details on how I pivoted in moments of frustration, uncertainty, and complications with type 1 diabetes that I ran into during my Ironman race.

Ever wonder why blood sugars aren't cooperating after a meal? In today's episode I discuss the exact method I use to identify exactly how much insulin I need at meals in order to stay in range...

And it's easier than you think!

The unfortunate truth is that our medical system is often outdated...And in today's episode I share a story about a conversation I had with a client who hadn't been given updated information in over 30 YEARS from her medical team...

And how this simple switch led to her nearly eliminating after meal blood sugar spikes.

7 site changes, 2 vials of insulin, 1 meltdown... What do you do when diabetes doesn't follow the "rules" anymore?

I'll be transparent - I had a hard week with diabetes.I made it work... as we all do... but it was a tough one.

What made it even tougher is that it ended with me heading into my biggest Ironman training block ever...

100 miles on the bike, 10 miles on a run.

And believe it or not... blood sugars......... still didn't cooperate.

They did, however, give me a really interesting lesson through the disaster (as they always do it you're willing to listen to them).

In today's episode I walk through the enormous amount of insulin needed to stay in range during my century bike ride...

As well as the distinction discovered through my training block that allowed me to "recover" my diabetes management amidst the chaos.

Give it a listen for the lesson, stay for the ridiculous story.

I canceled my next triathlon, and you should cancel your medical team...

Pretty shocking, I know! But there comes a time in every journey where you might need to "question everything" and hit the reset button...

And in today's episode, I share exactly what that looked like in my life right now...

As well as what you can use to know IF it's time for you to switch gears and update your diabetes management strategies.

Blood sugar experiments don't always go according to plan, and this one definitely did not...

At first.

Or second, third, fourth, and so on.

But then something clicked...

Something magical...

Something... calculated.

In today's episode, I share about an ongoing blood sugar experiment that honestly, has had me terrified every time I ran it because of how dangerous it was.

But... and I don't want to give away the big surprise that I share in this episode... but, I figured it out and the experiment finally WORKED

If you've ever tried to experiment with blood sugars (or wanted to) and run into challenges or difficulty, I also walk through my exact process for experimenting with chaotic blood sugars - safely.

I think you'll like this one, enjoy.

Whether you've got ADHD like me or not, T1D is often too much to keep track of while living your life...

And when we overlook blood sugar variables, they tend to "remind" us that they are worth paying attention to.

Case and point - insulin on board and running errands (or doing chores) can often lead to a big drop for me.

In today's episode I breakdown my recent "ah-ha" moment with this while out on an 85 mile bike ride and 20 mile run (it was a LONG Ironman training day), with a lesson that you might find helps to simplify diabetes and demystify those frustrating "sneak attack" blood sugars.

While parenting my * almost * 3 year old (wow, time flies), I said something to her that "clicked" in my head as a golden nugget for type 1 diabetes management...

I realized that it's what I've been unknowingly been using for YEARS to guarantee my own success, and that of my private clients...

And so I thought I'd share this with you.

I found a way to guarantee progress while simplifying the motivation we need to keep pushing on in the face of adversity.

There's a few gems, a few jokes, and you're not going to want to miss this one.

I finished my second Ironman 70.3 and it was NOT pretty...

diabetes devices failed, blood sugars were a disaster, body was shutting down...

But I learned something pivotal about what we experience as diabetics that we were misled by our doctors that I think will be beneficial to consider for any T1D looking to raise their standards of control (and overcome challenges easier).
