Dominating Diabetes: Beginning my CrossFit journey

crossfit t1d type 1

Hey WARRIORS!!

I recently decided to kick my fitness up a few notches and decided to join a local CrossFit gym, or Box!  I am extremely excited to be part of a great group of people.  The box and its people are very encouraging and supportive.  I will be posting details of the workouts as well as my blood sugar reading before and after the workouts.

I wear a Waist Band during each of my workouts.  The band keeps my pump secure and out of the way now matter what Workout of Day (WOD) calls for! Whether its running, Olympic lifting, or even flipping tires, the band will keep up!

Here are some details about the workouts I have done so far.  I will do a better job of keeping more detailed notes in the future!

As always feel free to reach out via e-mail, Facebook, or Twitter!

    Excited to see your results man. I recently joined crossfit as well and found that it is a tough workout to handle insulin correctly. You really need to evaluate each workout and determine an insulin game plan. Typically, I increase my basal rate between 125-150% 30 mins before my workout to mediate the glycogen released from the (excuse my lack of better terms) “high stress” workouts. Don’t get me wrong, I love crossfit and the intensity so far. But i haven’t been able to nail my insulin doses yet. Even with my boluses on a good day they wont be higher than 10mmol/L (180). Let me know if you have better luck.

    Thanks for sharing,

    Ed
