Episode notes

In this delightful episode of We Are T1D, Mike and Jack share a listener's story that perfectly encapsulates the unpredictable nature of living with Type 1 Diabetes. Rachel's tale, aptly titled "Hypo Squats," takes us on a journey from gym confidence to a hypo-induced wobble.


Mike and Jack reflect on the importance of being prepared and how strength training can often lead to unexpected blood sugar changes. They commend Rachel for her positivity and preparedness and discuss their own gym experiences and the challenges of maintaining stable blood sugar levels during workouts. The episode wraps up with a call for more listener stories, whether funny, embarrassing, or downright bizarre, emphasising the relatability and camaraderie within the T1D community.
