In this episode, Ben Tzeel, founder of Your Diabetes Insider, shares his journey of living with Type 1 diabetes since age seven. Defying old-school medical advice that suggested diabetics couldn’t be athletes, Ben has built a career as both a registered dietitian and a strength coach. His practice is unique because his entire team lives with diabetes, allowing them to offer the empathy and nuanced advice that traditional doctors often overlook.
The conversation covers the vital differences between Type 1, Type 2, and prediabetes, highlighting the 180 extra decisions patients must make daily. Ben explains how blood sugar levels impact muscle growth and mobility, even noting how excess sugar can “stick” to joints. From the history of life-saving insulin to using service dogs for glucose detection, this episode provides essential strategies for anyone looking to simplify their diabetes management and thrive physically.
