Does anyone know a sports nutritionist with Type1 Diabetes knowledge?

Hi,

I am getting more and more frustrated balancing nutrition, insuline, workout intensity and my goal to stay fit, being time constraint while trying to keep insuline injections as low as possible per day.

Despite many seminars, trainings, which are provided by doctors and healthcarers - these aim mostly at “normal” cases, not enthusiast sportists like me - and also own experience I am still lost with all the variables and so many factors influencing all this.

And what are my conclusions? High carb, low carb? High intensity, low Z2 workouts? Etc. I cant find the right way, am not sure, at the same time struggle to do 10+ hours Z2 per week with all daily obligations and stresses I have.

Now I am looking at finding an expert who can help me to develop a concrete plan and structure to follow. Anybody with some recommendation?

Unfortunately a “normal” sports nutritionist or coach wont do. Being dependent on insuline shots most of the recipes which work for most of you guys dont work for me. So I need somebody with understanding of Type1 Diabetes.

Thank you

If you have health insurance and the internet. You can go on your health care providers website and search for doctors/ nutritionists in the area.

Most won’t know the first thing about working with athletes though, and because of that can be worse than nothing.

To OP: I’m completely unhelpful here other than cautioning you to find someone who has experience with endurance athletes with T1D.

hi, I know the podcast already, thank you. That is a very helpful input which I have followed already successfully

and yes, longer cooldown/Z2 helps me a lot.
