For the past couple of weeks I noticed I was slipping into some bad habits of eating more sugary junk food (ie: chocolate and ice cream) than normal, and my blood sugars were starting to reveal this.   Nothing starts the day off worse than waking up with a blood sugar over 200 mg/dL.

There are so many different opinions about it, and I kind of want to see what happens? Is it worth it to try for just a little while? -Beth     Hey Beth, Definitely!

ASK GINGER - Serious T1 teen athlete frustrated with weight gain

Hey Ginger, I'm in an feuling/fitness conundrum. I'm currently running between 20-25 miles a week, swim laps 2 hours a week, and I do 2 hourlong spin classes a week. I've also gained 25 pounds since last summer. ACK! It seems counterintuitive for an endurance athlete to restrict carbs; my pump says I consume on average 120 grams a... Read moreChevron

ASK GINGER - There's so much to learn, but where/how can I learn it???

Hey Ginger, I was diagnosed a year ago. I'm 19, and I've been searching around the site and realizing how much I really don't know! I want to get back into sports, 'cause I kind of stopped for a while...afraid of lows and not really sure how to do my blood sugar at the same time, and then food, and insulin...I guess I was curious as to what you... Read moreChevron
