#9: Amber, John & Ryan | Ask Us Anything #1, Low BGs, Roommate Talk and Exercise

For those who are familiar with how our website operates, this will come as no surprise–we held nothing back. Today’s show is all about sharing the diabetes journey. Every so often, it’s just nice to know that you aren’t the only one digging the trench. That’s sometimes the metaphor we use when thinking about diabetes on a daily basis. We’re not experts, just people living a real diabetes life and talking about it. Thanks to all who dropped in a question.

We went deep into endurance exercise with John Brandenburg and how to prevent a low blood sugar during. Having that conversation with roommates can be tough. We talked about how, why, and when to bring it up. Ever had an issue with medical supplies? Oh yeah, we have. Amber still, yes still, prefers shots over the pump. She gave us her rational and made stellar points.

SHOW NOTES:

• Ryan’s article – guide to marathoning with diabetes.
• Snacks during runs and bike rides: Gu and Hammer Gels (Huckleberry is the best!)
• After answering Luminary Xion’s question, Ryan wrote an article: One Thing To Stay Sane With Diabetes
