Diabetes does not define your athletic potential
Maximizing health benefits through exercise and weight lifting is harder for us who have to manage our own insulin - but don't let your condition limit you
Join a community of athletes smashing limits and mastering their health
Research shows that people with T1D can safely participate in all forms of exercise.
Let's dive into a research-based approach to training & healthy living for diabetics.
No matter what your aspiration level is, it feels good to know that someone is reaching as far or further while struggling with the same disease.
Two and a half years ago, I was just another gym bro obsessed with bench press and protein shakes. I'd been lifting since 14, chasing that toned physique and proving my strength with heavy weights.
Then T1D hit at 25, and suddenly everything I thought I knew about training was wrong.
The doctors told me to 'be careful' with exercise. The internet was full of conflicting advice. I felt lost, scared, and completely alone in figuring out how to be both diabetic AND athletic.

This community exists because I needed it and it didn't exist. Now it does. And I'm committed to making it the resource I desperately wished I had during those first scared, confused months after diagnosis. You're not alone in this journey - and you don't have to figure it out the hard way like I did
