Reset

The last few weeks I have not been very disciplined with keeping a routine with diet or exercise. This has led my blood sugars to be on a roller coaster. I know what I need to do to feel good and have control of the blood sugars.

For me, I have found that a very low carb diet with lifting weights seems to do the trick. I know I have said this in the past. I have to accept that the fact that some routines are not the best for me. I am not going to put my health at risk. I need control. I have restarted 5/3/1 with low maxes and I am going to keep things simple. For conditioning work, I will push the prowler and train strongman events. I am also keeping my eyes peeled for any in state powerlifting or strongman events.

I admire those type 1s that can pull off the high intensity activities and still feel well. There is a type 1 athlete's page in Facebook that is very motivating. People that are a part of this group push the limits of being a T1D. More importantly, people offer help to each other and are very supportive.
