Fueling Fire: Smart Eating for Blood Sugar Control in the Fire Service
In this episode of the Fueling Fire podcast, host Megan Lautz welcomes Madi Cheever, a registered dietitian and type 1 diabetes expert, to discuss blood glucose management, diabetes, and prediabetes specifically for firefighters. They explore the science of blood sugar, clarify differences between Type 1, Type 2, and prediabetes, and debunk myths about carb restriction. Cheever shares actionable meal strategies that fit the unpredictable fire service lifestyle—like eating protein and fiber before carbs to tame blood sugar spikes and making easy, nutritious swaps without sacrificing favorite meals. They also touch on the development of insulin resistance over years of shift work, weight gain, and heavy physical demands common in firefighting. For those facing a diabetes diagnosis, Cheever explains the benefits of working with a dietitian for personalized support, avoiding fad diets, and building sustainable habits.
