Your Muscles Have a Side Door (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The coolest piece of machinery you own, and nobody ever handed you the manual. Normally, sugar leaves your blood through a door that only insulin can unlock. That's type 1 diabetes in one sentence. But your muscles have a second door, a side door, and it opens when you move. No insulin required. It's the Home Alone house: the front door is booby-trapped and complicated, and the side door is just... open. Neil breaks down GLUT4 (the worst-named best friend in diabetes), why a walk can pull a numb
The 3 Hour Sit (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It's Labor Day, college football is back, and Neil just sat through a noon kickoff and surfaced at midnight. Perfect timing to explain what a three-hour sit actually does inside a body with type 1 diabetes: your leg muscles clock out, sugar hangs around in your blood, insulin works alone, and that stubborn afternoon high parks itself on your CGM. You might not have eaten your way into it. You might have sat your way into it. The hope: a 2012 Diabetes Care study found just two minutes of easy wal
This Number Will Surprise You (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How many steps do you actually take on a normal day? Not your best day, a regular Tuesday. Check your phone, and prepare to appeal the ruling. In this episode Neil breaks down the gap between how active we feel and what the step count says, and why being busy and actually moving are two different things for blood sugar. Then two stats that change the whole conversation. Most adults with type 1 diabetes do not hit the recommended 150 minutes of weekly activity, and the number one reason in the re
The Chair is Winning (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Welcome to Keep It Moving, the new 8-week challenge for people with type 1 diabetes, and meet the villain: the chair. Nobody decides to sit for half a day. The chair decides for you, quietly, like a Netflix autoplay countdown, and your blood sugar pays the tax. Neil opens with his own confession: eight back-to-back Zoom meetings, a 4am run that turned into a fully sedentary day, and the insulin sensitivity drop he can feel by every afternoon. This is not a fitness challenge. No gym, no gear, no
The Head Start Finale + What's Next: The Steps Challenge | Type 1 Diabetes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Eight weeks ago, you were spiking after dinner and blaming yourself for it. This is the finale of The Head Start, and instead of another recap, Neil reads two listener stories that say what these eight weeks were really about, one from a woman who cried at her kitchen sink the first time she saw a flat 140, and one from a 31-year veteran whose time in range jumped from the low 60s to 81%. Then Neil looks ahead. Starting in September, the next challenge is steps, just walking, and it's the perfec
