There is a false myth that diabetics aren’t allowed anything sweet.

As a Type 1 Diabetic, I wholeheartedly disagree.

Let me share why, and how I reversed my insulin resistance, improved my time in range and achieved blood glucose stability by consuming whole carbohydrates ad libitum.

Running is how I control my blood sugars, how I boost my insulin sensitivity and a great weapon to reduce insulin resistance.

So here are the 5 tips that transformed me from chronically injured runner to chronically injury-free marathoner, and that you can apply TODAY to become an injury free runner!

42 (and more) variables can affect our blood glucose even day, eat any time. It can feel like a lot.

But as we know these variables and their impact, we can learn how to manipulate them to our advantage to keep our blood glucose stable and preserve our time in range.

Let’s unpack this!

Here’s everything you need to know and do to track you carbohydrates and adjust your insulin intake at every meal! [With Surprise At The End]

Whole foods, insulin timing, movement snacks, hydration and journaling are only some of the ten simple tricks that have helped me stabilize my blood sugar and preserve my time in range while carb loading with type 1 diabetes. Have a look at the rest of the list and let me know your experience!

How many times have I set the intention to improve my blood glucose management and reverse my insulin resistance, listed the steps required, and then failed, at least partially.

Type 1 Diabetes management is an art of practice and consistency. Those who master type 1 diabetes are able to stick to the right choices and actions day after day, over long periods of time.

I always reflect on my failures, and always discover that the reason behind me is simple: I knew what to do, I just didn’t do it, or didn’t do it well enough.

This is the system I always follow.
It keeps my blood glucose in check, steady and as smooth as silk.
It is also my North Star when things get a bit out of control and I need to reset my blood glucose, find some peace and start fresh again.

I hope they can hep you too!

Why starting to run has transformed my life? And how come my diabetes management has improved, my mindset to face its challenges strenghtened, and my understanding of this tedious condition has become clearer?

In this article, I explain all of that, focusing on why signing up for a marathon has been an ecological goal, one the pursuit of which automatically forced so many pieces of the puzzle into the right place.

While our amazing scientists and researchers work hard to find a cure, this is the closest thing to a “cure” to type 1 diabetes I can think of, purely based on lifestyle choices.

If you’re looking for the “magic diet”, this post is not for you. I share my journey to improve my relationship with food and how I have improved my awareness around the quality of food I eat over the years.

The Mastering Diabetes Program had a pivotal role in this journey, and thanks to that I understood that the real, “magic” way to improve diabetes management is…much, much, much simpler than I’ve always been told.

Whole, plant based foods. No processed, modern foods. In other words, eating more like my grandma’s grandma seems to be much more effective than everything I’ve been told by “experts” over the years.
