Athletes with Type 1 Diabetes face a unique challenge when it comes to fueling for performance. Training, competition intensity, stress hormones, carbohydrate intake, and insulin management all interact to influence blood glucose levels. For many athletes, this can make nutrition feel confusing, unpredictable, or frustrating. However, with the right fueling strategies and planning, athletes with Type 1 Diabetes can train hard, compete confidently, and perform at a high level.

​

Exercise affects blood glucose differently depending on the type of training, duration, intensity, and timing of insulin and carbohydrate intake. Endurance workouts may increase the risk of low blood glucose, while high-intensity efforts or competition stress can sometimes cause blood sugar to rise. Learning how to fuel appropriately before, during, and after exercise can help athletes maintain more stable glucose levels and better energy throughout training.

​

As a sports dietitian, Megan help athletes with Type 1 Diabetes understand how to balance carbohydrates, insulin, and training demands so they can support both performance and long-term health. My goal is to provide practical strategies that help athletes feel more confident with their fueling plan and reduce the stress of managing blood glucose around workouts and sports competitions.

Megan's experience as a running and sports nutrition coach at the Diabetes Training Camp, has enhanced her knowledge and perspective working with athletes across a range of sports and exercise, helping them to better understand how exercise, nutrition, and insulin interact to influence blood glucose levels during training and competition.

Whether you are a competitive runner, endurance athlete, or a youth athlete balancing sports and diabetes, the right nutrition strategies can make a significant difference in both performance and daily energy.
