For the past three weeks, I have incorporated a regular and very intense form of cardiovascular training into my powerlifting workouts and the impact this has had on my blood sugars and my insulin sensitivity has been drastic!

ASK GINGER - My energy is zonked when my blood sugar is all over the place?

Hey Ginger,   I know that blood sugars that aren't in control, like a low blood sugar, can make you feel really tired, and highs make me feel pretty groggy. My energy is just totally zonked when my blood sugars are all over the place. If I wake up with a high bs then I don't even wanna get out of bed!

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
