I asked Shirley to share the ins and outs of her journey from struggle to success through our T1D program, and she did not disappoint...

We had an incredible chat about how hard things used to be (and some of the realities we face with type 1 diabetes)...

And she details her amazing A1C and time in range secrets that she turned around in less than 8 weeks!

This is our reality - type 1 diabetes still holds the potential to be a death sentence...

Even for me.

No matter how well controlled, no matter how restricted or "safe" we try to be...

All it takes is one bad day and a few wrong choices, and we're done.

In today's episode, we respectfully discuss a recent death of a type 1 and the two important perspectives that can and should be gained from this news.

I also share some news of my own if you stick around till the end.

If this is a sensitive topic for you, maybe put this in the "listen later" folder.

I hope you enjoy and use it to improve.

Forced experimentation: I took a new insulin that I’d never had before out of desperation…

If diabetes has taught me one thing, it’s the skill of adaptation (and “rolling with it”).

I didn’t plan on running out of insulin, definitely not taking a mystery insulin in the middle of the jungle, and certainly not the bonus lesson that a stumbled across with a blood sugar at 250 haha.

It was a rough day filled with opportunity to learn from mistakes, and I hope that today’s episode allows you to learn from mine (so that you don’t have to make the same mistakes).

New fear unlocked: my wife and I got sucked out to sea in a Hawaiian rip current...

And it opened my mind to something that we as type 1 diabetics face nearly every day...

An unseen danger, that if gone unnoticed, could spell disaster (or worse), with blood sugars.

In today's episode, I felt it was important to share something that could save a few lives (and definitely your time in range) as I walk through the story of a pretty traumatic experience from our vacation in Hawaii.

I had the chance to sit down and chat with one of my clients that recently had an “ah-ha” moment with the diabetes math that we teach…

And I was so impressed at her calculations for ‘rescuing’ some rough blood sugars in a really complicated situation and ending perfectly in range without any sacrifice!

In today’s episode, I asked her to break down exactly HOW she calculated her blood sugar formula, why it was important, and share a few secrets/tid-bits from her time in coaching with us.

My blood sugars didn’t exactly “behave” during my Ironman 70.3 race, so how was I able to stay 96% time in range for the whole thing?

There’s a single decision-making framework that I use (and teach my clients) that enabled me to fix my blood sugars on the fly in the middle of a 7 hour endurance race…

And I want to share that with you today.

We spent a full day in the hospital for my daughter last week…

While it was a planned visit (and not T1D thankfully), our nerves were running high while they ran a series of tests on our little girl.

Through the course of the day, I noticed a few things about the medical world that seemed all too familiar with my experience with T1D, that I thought I’d share here in a more vulnerable episode…

Listen in now to hear about my amazing daughter, the medical system, and how I experiment with blood sugars…

Blood sugar of 42 mg/dL and 300 mg/dL in the same DAY?! Let’s discuss how to get off the Blood Sugar Roller Coaster in today’s episode, because that was ROUGH.

It’s true. MY blood sugars hit urgent low AND urgent high… in the same day.

(Yup, I’m human too… I messed up)

In today’s episode I break down 3 examples of exercise, food, and insulin timing that may help you to discover your “blood sugar reset formula” if you listen carefully.

It’s easy to get “lost” in the complexity of diabetes - so today I want to share a story about a client that fixed her blood sugars without changing insulin at all…

As well as a few other “easy wins” that I like to walk new clients through before we even get to the advanced “blood sugar formulas”.

Because the reality is - the advanced stuff (blood sugar formulas) won’t even work unless the foundations are set FIRST.

Check out today’s episode for my top 5 foundations of diabetes management that I’ve noticed have made the biggest difference in my client’s blood sugars over the years.

It’s true - I was scared to take my insulin (and sometimes… didn’t) for a number of reasons.

In today’s episode I share a few vulnerable stories (including my superstar T1D sister’s story) about how I went from nervous about lows and highs to living fearlessly with diabetes…

Oh, and I’m redefining “fearless” - you’ll get a kick out of what that word ACTUALLY means to me.

Ultimately, diabetes DID hold me back (and it was rooted in fear), but a recent 60 mile bike ride and mile and a half swim switched something in my head that I think you might benefit from - so I recorded my thoughts and lessons learned just for you.

It’s true - diabetes is harder for some than it is for others… and it all boils down to a single trait (in my opinion)…

The bad news - it might be harder for YOU.

The good news, you can change this trait if it’s currently missing (and it’s easier than you think).

In today’s episode I break down what might be making diabetes extra tough, as well as which of the two paths you might take if you’re looking to make it easier.
