I wonder what our exercise experts like @Eric think of this information:

> **[The competitive athlete with type 1 diabetes](https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00125-020-05183-8)**
>
> Regular exercise is important for health, fitness and longevity in people living with type 1 diabetes, and many individuals seek to train and compete while living with the condition. Muscle, liver and glycogen metabolism can be normal in athletes...

I would say they have never met Eric. Their recommendations seem so tame.

Ugh, there are so many horrible things in there! 😮

Okay, I have recovered from reading it. Certain things just make my skin crawl! Like the idea that I need to take carbs if I drop below 144. 😂

I wish I could get in the Olympics, just to squash articles like that.

haha! yeah I had trouble translating the mmol to mg/DL in my head, so I was looking at the ranges and thinking…those seem high to me. But 144, wow, we don’t even do that with Samson.

One of the studies they referenced was a comparison of high carb vs moderate carb post-exercise, to compare muscle glycogen replenishment.

Yeah, when you do not take enough insulin for more carbs, guess what?!? The carbs do you no good! Duh! 🤦‍♂️
