About this episode
In this episode, Meg Cremins discusses how running, menstrual cycles, and food choices affect blood sugar patterns in individuals with Type 1 Diabetes.
Sometimes with diabetes, things feel RANDOM! And its annoying. frustrating. makes you want to pull your hair out. But I find that when I see a pattern that feels random and instead get curious, I'm able to usually find some root cause to what's happening! In this episode I walk through 3 recent patterns I've noticed that felt random, but ended up having a reason. I go through examples about: Running and blood sugars My period and insulin needs And how the food I was eating impacted my time in range.
