Pardon My Pancreas - Type 1 Diabetes with Matt Vande Vegte

Most people with diabetes wake up, check their blood sugar, and hope for the best…

But what if the first 10 minutes of your day could completely change your numbers - without changing your insulin?

I tested a new morning routine that blends breathwork, movement, light exposure, and nervous system regulation… and the results shocked me. 😳

Blood sugar ✅

Energy ✅

Peace of mind ✅

I've been 99% time in range for the last 18 days as of this post - there are a few reasons for that (that I get into in this episode, one by one), but more importantly...

It was NOT accomplished because of restriction.

I was living my life, enjoying my birthday, fathers day, getting on LIVE TV (the news) interviewed 3 different times (for my book, "The Blood Sugar Freedom Formula")...

And STILL...

ACCIDENTALLY...

The Diabetes Scorecard: Can This Simple Tool Transform Your Blood Sugars?

While on the news last week, one of the anchors asked me about how I fixed my own blood sugars and stay above 90% time in range always...

I pondered this over the last few days and came up with a framework that simplifies EVERYTHING into a simple diabetes checklist...

Or "Diabetes Scorecard" to know how to fix just about any blood sugar that comes your...

Success isn't always linear, and sometimes you have to bend the rules to get what you want...

OFTEN times that means stepping out of your comfort zone and trying something new.

"Nothing changes when nothing changes"

Jen shared with us bits and pieces of her amazing (ongoing) transformation with T1D success and we just had to have her on the show...

Most notably: "I'm in better control than ever, and it's a...

Can I fix your blood sugars in 24 hours? 

Yes.SHOULD we fix your blood sugars in 24 hours?

It depends...

See, often times, while it's fun seeing instant progress, the quick fixes just don't lead to lasting, sustainable success.

In today's episode I break down how you CAN see instant results...

But also how to zoom out and see the big picture.

What if there was a way to enjoy an appetizer, a burger, and LAVA cake with ice cream - without blood sugars going insane?

I set out to do just that, and in today's episode you'll discover what strategy I used, in step-by-step fashion, and whether or not it worked!

Either way it was heavenly, and I hope this episode serves as a reminder that you CAN enjoy food with type 1 diabetes AND there are strategies and bloo...

This was a hard episode to make...

Not emotionally... but physically. I legitimately ended up in the hospital yesterday and (funny story) - it was my fault.

With diabetes, SO many of us are taught restriction, constraints, survival...

But in today's episode I break down how that's actually wrong, backwards thinking - and what you should be doing instead.

I hope you enjoy, and drop a comment on the video if you&...

Low blood sugars SUCK. But they're also trying to teach you something critical...

Here's the thing - as someone who used to have multiple lows DAILY, to now having only a few lows a YEAR...

I can tell you that you don't have to settle for "that's just how diabetes is".

In fact, if you learn this lesson that your body is TRYING to tell you with these lows...

You just may find yourself in a similar position ...

It's no secret - I HATE lows. But did you know that I still struggle with low-level anxiety that refuses to leave my mind?

It's true, and it's something that I work on (and am challenged by) DAILY.

The good news is that it's getting better with years of work.

I used to be scared to leave the house (seriously)...

Now, well... now I'm an Ironman (somehow)

In today's episode I share a question that I got when ...

Insulin is a TRICKY variable...

Too much, you die.

Too little, you die (eventually).

Just right - you're good... for now.

And the trickiest part?

The amount needed can change day to day.

In today's episode I share a story from a time when I didn't know how to identify those differences day to day...

And it nearly killed me.

Learn from my mistakes- and avoid them if at all possible.

A scary lesson that I hope you never have to...

Diabetes doesn't have to be hard. I said what I said.

Doesn't mean it doesn't suck sometimes, but so many T1D's I talk to are missing a critical piece...

A piece that makes diabetes feel more... manageable.

I'm not talking about "take your insulin earlier" or "count your carbs"...

No, believe it or not it's something much simpler...

And yet also even more impactful.

In today's episod...

Believe it or not, there were CHALLENGES with my 100-Mile race...

Challenges, in my opinion, are opportunities for growth.

That being said, they aren't always the most FUN to break through.

During my ride I learned a few blood sugar lessons that actually apply across the board to all T1Ds - even if you're not an ultra- endurance athlete like me.

More importantly, it may even save your life to know what to watch out for.

>&g...

The rules are different with type 1 diabetes... the stuff that's "healthy" for the general population just doesn't always translate perfectly to life with type 1 diabetes.

The challenge - which ones are still healthy, which ones are dangerous?
YOU get to decide after hearing this week's breakdown of blood sugars with a dangerous realization...

And narrowly avoiding another hospital trip.

My doctor lied to me when I was first diagnosed...

Though, if we're being honest - he was misinformed, it wasn't a lie.

But this misinformation, even at the level of our medical team (terrifyingly) becomes myth...

And those myths can be detrimental to OUR lives as type 1 diabetics.

Today I'm breaking down and debunking my 5 top type 1 diabetes myths...

And we're doing it with STYLE (aka - I broke the "rules"...

ALL diabetics (yes, me included) struggle with one of two (or both) of these underlying causes of unnecessary suffering...

The embarrassing part - I've been coaching others on how to fix this for YEARS, and only JUST noticed it in my own life.

In a single day I was able to actually fix this problem, and when we uncover the issue in your own life - you might even be able to discover blood sugar freedom faster than I did.

What if it were possible to FIX blood sugars in less than a single day?

Today's story that Zak shares with us highlights the incredible improvements that can be made when the right strategy (aka FORMULA) is implemented...

With blood sugars going from completely wacky and unpredictable - to smooth, steady, and over 90% time in range... in the first DAY.

You'll need to hear it to believe it because Zak shares the details of wh...

Imagine you've given WAY too much insulin and you're sure that this could end in a hospital trip...

What do you do?

The challenge arises - balance the insulin (and other factors that you'll hear about) to avoid a life-threatening LOW blood sugar...

WHILE also not taking in too much and rebounding into a HIGH blood sugar...

And to do so in a calculated manner with your 80/20 Blood Sugar Formula (without panicking).

That&ap...

I easily could have ended up in the hospital if I wasnt using blood sugar formulas over the weekend...

Something WILD happened to my blood sugars recently, and when I realized that no doctor talks about this - I knew I needed to make an episode about it.

If you've ever been slapped upside the head by a mysterious high or low blood sugar...

It was probably due to THIS phenomenon.

Can't wait to hear about what you get out of th...

Too little - massive spike.

Too much - delayed spike.

Just the right amount - absolute perfection.

This single shift in my eating habits fixed nearly all of my struggles many years ago...

And today I break my silence to share it with you.

Honestly, it's probably the #1 reason people experience "mystery" blood sugar ups and downs.
