Sam Scott on The Science of Sports Performance Podcast
Nutrition for Athletes with Diabetes
Sep 20, 2025

Today's episode is my conversation with Dr. Sam Scott, an exercise physiologist specialising in helping athletes who have diabetes manage their nutrition and insulin to perform at their best while avoiding hypo- or hyperglycemic events. We discuss the physiology of key hormones like insulin and glucagon, challenges of properly dosing insulin and managing blood sugar, fueling techniques for athletes with diabetes, and even the use of insulin as a PED.
