Managing type 1 diabetes as an endurance athlete can feel like solving a Rubik’s cube… while racing a triathlon.
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr Sam Scott – exercise physiologist, researcher, and former Head of Research for Team Novo Nordisk – to break down the science of exercising with T1 diabetes. Sam shares practical strategies for managing glucose, fuelling like a pro and using tech like CGMs and wearables to stay safe and perform at your best.
Whether you live with T1D, coach someone who does, or are just curious about high-performance sport with diabetes, this is a must-listen.
