#20: LA Chapter at Wildflower Triathlon

Romain Ballet is a hero among us T1s. If it's not his unwavering advocacy, then it's his incredible endurance or perhaps even his work in immunology. Romain and I discuss his recent Ironman finish and cover his training for the upcoming NYC marathon. As a member of The Beyond Type Run Team, Romain enters the weekend at the height of T1 diabetes sport. Donate to his fundraiser if you can.

Proud to bring you all the story of Casey Schwenk. From running to cycling, Casey leads by example by running and paving the way for T1s all of the world. Casey doesn't let T1 limit him in any way. Living out of an RV and travel/working around the west coast, he runs fearless and taught me a thing a two about the courage it takes to do what we all do...run and act like T1 ain't no thang. Cheer him on for the San Fran Marathon July 29th.

This week I bring Josh Reese on the show. Josh was diagnosed with T1 in his teens, after his T1 mother routinely checked his blood sugar. Since his diagnoses Josh has been pretty distant from the T1 community, but now finds himself trying to get more involved with others, especially other T1 runners. If you're in the Knoxville area, help me convince Josh to start his own chapter.

This week I was fortunate to speak with diabetes and sport medical expert Charlotte Hayes with Team Novo Nordisk. Charlotte is the director of research and education for the team and has a deep history in certified diabetes education. We talk a lot about how she defines success in diabetes management for T1 athletes. Her insight and experience on exercise's effect on diabetes is absolutely incredible and immediately helped me refocus some aspects of my care that I've been wanting to improve on. I also got some insight on what happens when a non-diabetic wears a CGM. Super surprising!!
