Low blood sugars SUCK. But they're also trying to teach you something critical...Here's the thing - as someone who used to have multiple lows DAILY, to now having only a few lows a YEAR...I can tell you that you don't have to settle for "that's just how diabetes is".In fact, if you learn this lesson that your body is TRYING to tell you with these lows...You just may find yourself in a similar position where lows are so rare, you actually get to enjoy more of life in the moment again (without the worry of blood sugar crashes).Tune in today to hear about what led to me having a low-filled-week last week, what I did to fix it, and how to listen to your body to avoid lows before they happen.>> ENJOY!Grab your free ticket to this advanced T1D training here:https://diabetesinaction.comPurchase your copy of "The Blood Sugar Freedom Formula" book TODAY!https://www.amazon.com/dp/1964811880?psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&ref_=chk_typ_quicklook_imgToDpFree T1D Support Group Here: https://diabetesinaction.com/join-group-1---------Welcome to the Pardon My Pancreas podcast!!

Diabetes doesn't have to be hard. I said what I said.Doesn't mean it doesn't suck sometimes, but so many T1D's I talk to are missing a critical piece...A piece that makes diabetes feel more... manageable.I'm not talking about "take your insulin earlier" or "count your carbs"...No, believe it or not it's something much simpler...And yet also even more impactful.In today's episode, I decided to share a clip from a mindset coaching call I did in our private community - because I know it holds the secret to lasting success with something like diabetes that has no true "finish line".Listen in and let me know what stood out to you.>> ENJOY!Grab your free ticket to this advanced T1D training here:https://diabetesinaction.comPurchase your copy of "The Blood Sugar Freedom Formula" book TODAY!https://www.amazon.com/dp/1964811880?psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&ref_=chk_typ_quicklook_imgToDpFree T1D Support Group Here: https://diabetesinaction.com/join-group-1---------Welcome to the Pardon My Pancreas podcast!!

ALL diabetics (yes, me included) struggle with one of two (or both) of these underlying causes of unnecessary suffering...The embarrassing part - I've been coaching others on how to fix this for YEARS, and only JUST noticed it in my own life.In a single day I was able to actually fix this problem, and when we uncover the issue in your own life - you might even be able to discover blood sugar freedom faster than I did.>> ENJOY!Grab your free ticket to this advanced T1D training here:https://diabetesinaction.comPurchase your copy of "The Blood Sugar Freedom Formula" book TODAY!https://www.amazon.com/dp/1964811880?psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&ref_=chk_typ_quicklook_imgToDpFree T1D Support Group Here: https://diabetesinaction.com/join-group-1---------Welcome to the Pardon My Pancreas podcast!!

Let me be clear - I'm not perfect or immune to the negatives of type 1 diabetes (or life)...And I hit a wall, HARD.Burnout is real, it shows signs, and when those signs are ignored - it wreaks havoc.I recently experienced some far-reaching burnout that went so far as ending my 5.5 YEAR streak of staying consistently over 90% time in range...But it goes deeper than that and ended up impacting me emotionally, mentally, and even physically with sickness and injury.>> ENJOY!Grab your free ticket to this advanced T1D training here:https://diabetesinaction.comPurchase your copy of "The Blood Sugar Freedom Formula" book TODAY!https://www.amazon.com/dp/1964811880?psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&ref_=chk_typ_quicklook_imgToDpFree T1D Support Group Here: https://diabetesinaction.com/join-group-1---------Welcome to the Pardon My Pancreas podcast!!

Blood sugars are about MORE than just the food that enters your mouth...Turns out it's not just about glucose and numbers, but also about dental health and the impact on blood sugars!A few months ago, we had dental expert, Dr. Katie Lee, hop into our private community to teach on this exact topic...And she blew our minds.Long story short, we decided to share it with the public because it was just that impactful.I'm going through her book now, and when you listen to today's episode, you just might learn something new as well (like I did).>> ENJOY!Grab your seat for the Weight Loss Challenge here:https://t1dbootcamp.comPurchase your copy of "The Blood Sugar Freedom Formula" book TODAY!https://www.amazon.com/dp/1964811880?psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&ref_=chk_typ_quicklook_imgToDpFree T1D Support Group Here: https://diabetesinaction.com/join-group-1---------Welcome to the Pardon My Pancreas podcast!!

When I was first diagnosed, my doctor guessed at my insulin needs and said "let me know how it goes".In other words - even HE wasn't confident that it would work.Looking back, this ticks me off.Newly diagnosed diabetics like me being left to fend for themselves with a "best guess" approach to T1D management.In a recent conversation with my private clients - the topic of "calculating total daily insulin with precision" came up, alongside what a "healthy" amount of insulin looks like as a target.Long story short - the topic is an important one, reminded me of how most people are calculating it wrong (at the misdirection of their medical teams), and led me to recording this DEEP dive on the topic for YOU in case your insulin is set up incorrectly...HINT: you're probably (accidentally) taking the wrong amount of insulin.This episode will show you EXACTLY how to calculate that, and more.>> ENJOY!Grab your seat for the Weight Loss Challenge here:https://t1dbootcamp.comPurchase your copy of "The Blood Sugar Freedom Formula" book TODAY!https://www.amazon.com/dp/1964811880?psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&ref_=chk_typ_quicklook_imgToDpFree T1D Support Group Here: https://diabetesinaction.com/join-group-1---------Welcome to the Pardon My Pancreas podcast!!

Ever wonder how "good" life can get with T1D?In today's episode, I pulled one of my current clients aside who was able to use the 80/20 blood sugar formula to FLIP his world upside down (though, I suppose "right-side up" is more accurate)...He went from frustrated and confused with blood sugars that would just NOT cooperate...fTo in control and FREE, where even during a week of absolute CHAOS, he was able to maintain 89% time in range, nearly effortlessly (because of the blood sugar formulas).>> ENJOY!Grab your seat for the Weight Loss Challenge here:https://t1dbootcamp.comPurchase your copy of "The Blood Sugar Freedom Formula" book TODAY!https://www.amazon.com/dp/1964811880?psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&ref_=chk_typ_quicklook_imgToDpFree T1D Support Group Here: https://diabetesinaction.com/join-group-1---------Welcome to the Pardon My Pancreas podcast!!

If you've ever struggled to lose fat with T1D, you're not alone.The reality is that losing weight with diabetes is actually harder, and often overlooked.Here's the reason - if your blood sugars aren't working for you, they're working against you.Low blood sugars mean consuming extra calories that you didn't even want...High blood sugars mean your body can't function or recover optimally...Blood sugars that bounce up and down stress out your system and damage your blood vessels...And at the foundation - diabetes is a metabolic disease that, you guessed it, impacts your metabolism.It's not your fault that you didn't know the secret to weight loss and T1D - and in today's episode I break down some common misconceptions, mistakes, and mysteries...So that you can finally lose the weight and get back to feeling your best.>> ENJOY!Grab your seat for the Weight Loss Challenge here:https://t1dbootcamp.comPurchase your copy of "The Blood Sugar Freedom Formula" book TODAY!https://www.amazon.com/dp/1964811880?psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&ref_=chk_typ_quicklook_imgToDpFree T1D Support Group Here: https://diabetesinaction.com/join-group-1---------Welcome to the Pardon My Pancreas podcast!!

In my most vulnerable episode EVER  (I teared up a little), I share what was one of the riskiest moves I've made with T1D...I finished possibly my last ever Ironman event (though, who knows) with a few different stories to tell...One, as an athlete, that broke a previous PR by an HOUR...Another, as a type 1 diabetic, that nearly had to quit the race from a SCARY low...And lastly, as a human, facing trauma, immense challenges, and breaking through physical limitations.It's packed with every detail, literally A-Z of my secrets and decisions for blood sugars, risk calculations, and pathways to success.If anything, it's the path to blood sugar (and mental health) success that I wish someone else had made for me.I truly hope you enjoy and find this valuable, I poured my heart and soul into it for ya.>> LISTEN NOWPurchase your copy TODAY!https://www.amazon.com/dp/1964811880?psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&ref_=chk_typ_quicklook_imgToDpTo join the Warrior's Tribe+ for more exclusive access to T1D experts like this, go to https://thewarriorstribe.com/go2Free T1D Support Group Here: https://diabetesinaction.com/join-group-1---------Welcome to the Pardon My Pancreas podcast!!

Other times, it's just nice to have different options to manipulate blood sugars...That's right, I said manipulate blood sugars.In today's episode, I share how I was able to actually reduce my insulin needs in a pinch, which allowed me to set myself up for my best Ironman 70.3 race yet.I spill ALL the secrets on this one with:weight lossinsulin resistanceblood sugar manipulationand MORE!Check it out if you're ready to "think differently" about your diabetes management 

My LEAST favorite way to learn - the HARD way. Unfortunately I had a pretty rough go recently that left me in a not so good place mentally...And the lesson that I learned actually was discovered by my wife, Lisa.We were on vacation in Hawaii a few weeks ago and things were not exactly "peachy" with my blood sugars...I tried my best to hide it so that it didn't impact the family, but after a few days of extreme difficulty.... They started to notice.The last thing I wanted was to be a burden to them on vacation...And it took learning this one lesson to ensure that I got back on track - physically, but also mentally, in order to enjoy life with T1D again.I hope you enjoy this vulnerable episode.>> LISTEN NOWPurchase your copy TODAY!https://www.amazon.com/dp/1964811880?psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&ref_=chk_typ_quicklook_imgToDpTo join the Warrior's Tribe+ for more exclusive access to T1D experts like this, go to https://thewarriorstribe.com/go2Free T1D Support Group Here: https://diabetesinaction.com/join-group-1---------Welcome to the Pardon My Pancreas podcast!!

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.>> LISTEN NOWGrab your free ticket to this advanced T1D training here:https://diabetesinaction.comFree T1D Support Group Here: https://diabetesinaction.com/join-group-1---------Welcome to the Pardon My Pancreas podcast!!

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.>> LISTEN NOWGrab your free ticket to this advanced T1D training here:https://diabetesinaction.comFree T1D Support Group Here: https://diabetesinaction.com/join-group-1---------Welcome to the Pardon My Pancreas podcast!!

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.>> LISTEN NOWGrab your free ticket to this advanced T1D training here:https://diabetesinaction.comFree T1D Support Group Here: https://diabetesinaction.com/join-group-1---------Welcome to the Pardon My Pancreas podcast!!

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).>> LISTEN NOWGrab your free ticket to this advanced T1D training here:https://diabetesinaction.comFree T1D Support Group Here: https://diabetesinaction.com/join-group-1---------Welcome to the Pardon My Pancreas podcast!!

There's more than one "hard truth" with type 1 diabetes, but in today's episode I share one of the few that you can actually change in your diabetes management to make it easier...With my private clients, I like to start most of them off with "quick wins" before we jump into the personalized, more detailed stuff...Today's episode covers one of those 'quick wins' that you can do without even talking to me or working with me...And it's probably the simplest, most overlooked strategy in type 1 diabetes.Listen in, USE IT, and change your life forever.In all truth - it's actually the MAIN thing I used that took me from out of control and frustrated all the way to stable blood sugars and happiness.>> LISTEN NOWGrab your special offer here: https://trendinghealthjournal.com Free T1D Support Group Here: https://diabetesinaction.com/join-group-1---------Welcome to the Pardon My Pancreas podcast!!
