Diabetic Fitness Coach

7 lows a week could mean 840 calories you weren’t planning on 👇🏽 #type1diabetes #type1 #t1d #type1coach Here’s the example from this video: 7 lows × 30g of carbs per low × 4 calories per gram = 840 calories across the week and now multiply that for the month … That number will vary. Some lows need less carbohydrate, others need repeat treatment, and the foods you use can change the calorie total. 30g per low is an illustration not a treatment recommendation. If those calories are added on top of your usual intake, they can shrink your calorie deficit and slow fat loss even when you’re putting in the work. But always treat your lows. You haven’t failed because your body needed glucose. ❤️ This is why fat loss with type 1 diabetes needs a plan that connects your meals, training, and insulin needs. Start recognizing the patterns: Are you dropping overnight? After workouts? Between meals? Repeated lows are a reason to review your plan with your diabetes team. And that plan needs to evolve. As you lose fat, build muscle, and change your activity, your insulin sensitivity and insulin needs can change too. The settings that worked before may need another look. It’s a moving target not a predictable adjustment at every pound lost. Being mindful and prepared can help you reduce recurring lows, avoid the low-to-rebound-high cycle, and feel more in control while you work toward your goals. Save this as a reminder..your plan should adapt as your body changes.
