    I ran out of insulin in the jungle (T1D Nightmare)

    I ran out of insulin in the jungle (T1D Nightmare)

    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).

    The Unseen Dangers of Type 1 Diabetes

    The Unseen Dangers of Type 1 Diabetes

    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.

    How "Diabetes Math" Predicted Perfect Blood Sugars - T1D Serina S. Shares All

    How "Diabetes Math" Predicted Perfect Blood Sugars - T1D Serina S. Shares All

    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 "diabetes dosing decision" that got me through an Ironman 70.3

    My "diabetes dosing decision" that got me through an Ironman 70.3

    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.

    What My Daughter's Hospital Stay Taught Me About T1D

    What My Daughter's Hospital Stay Taught Me About T1D

    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…

    Are You Taking Your Insulin Wrong?

    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.
