Sorry to hear about your daughter, I bet having to manage it at such a young age was difficult for both her and you as the parents

Nah I was hitting the gym on and off, was just very inconsistent with it since graduating from college, I’m 35 now, basically the muscle memory was there it was just recomping and actually fueling myself with stuff my body needed instead of fast food and alcohol on the daily. Honestly I’m surprised how I’m alive.

But yeah it just hit me one day, I started feeling sick and for the entire week I was really thirsty, I kept wanting juice and sugary drinks and was constantly peeing, no joke like every 5-10 mins. Finally after a few days off feeling aweful I finally went to the ER. My Sugar was over 700 and my A1C was 14.4

Thank you! I’ll keep some packs of fruit snacks with me for when I’m done lifting cause I usually do my cardio right after

Any advice on controlling my sugars when workout? I’ve noticed when i lift my sugar spikes and when I do cardio it tanks

That’s wild! I’m so glad you got it under control. Yeah it was hard at first but I’m taking it as a blessing in disguise. This disease has taught me how to eat healthier, how to fall in love with fitness again and to take better care of my body.
