Some days you drop fast. Some days you spike first. Some days you do everything “right” and your numbers still do their own thing. This post breaks down what cardio does to your body and why you tend to go low during or after cardio — plus what helps you stay safer and more steady. What cardio does to your body (and why it affects blood sugar)...]]></description><link>https://www.t1djourney.net/post/why-cardio-hits-different-with-t1d</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a5046fb661479e527e01516</guid><pubDate>Fri, 10 Jul 2026 01:36:56 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/fe9a64_63f09125922a4008a061f5fee4ad289f~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Emma Blasi</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[T1D at School: My Low Plan, What I Carry, and How I Advocate.]]></title><description><![CDATA[If you’re in school with Type 1 Diabetes, I need you to hear this first: You’re not “too much.” You’re not dramatic. You’re managing a full-time job while trying to be a student. And most importantly, you're not embarrassing. I’m writing this from a student perspective, and I’m keeping it real — because school with T1D isn’t just classes. It’s timing, supplies, alarms, food, stress, and trying not to draw too much attention to yourself when your body needs something right now.

You’re not behind. You’re not failing. And you’re not alone. I’ve lived with T1D since I was two years old, and I still remember how overwhelming it can feel when everything suddenly becomes numbers, timing, alarms, supplies, and “what ifs.” This isn’t a post to scare you; it’s a post to hold your hand through the beginning.

I do hot pilates, weight lifting at the gym, and sports — and depending on the day, I’ll either spike high during the workout (hello, adrenaline), or crash low after (the post-workout drop). Sometimes I get the lovely combo: high during, low after. And if you’ve ever dealt with that, you know it can mess with your confidence and self...]]></description><link>https://www.t1djourney.net/post/fitness-t1d-why-i-run-high-during-workouts-adrenaline-and-crash-low-after-and-what-helps-me</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a3aa9c2c4b4b7e8f56104a1</guid><pubDate>Tue, 23 Jun 2026 16:14:52 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/fe9a64_7d057fd4741c46ffb932f2c09ba2cdbb~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Emma Blasi</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Living With T1D Isn't Just Numbers: It's Mental Health Too]]></title><description><![CDATA[Some days with Type 1 Diabetes doesn't feel like “management.” They feel like walking into a stone wall—over and over—at different angles, and still ending up in the same place. That’s what burnout feels like for me. I remember a time when my blood sugar numbers were constantly high and no amount of insulin would bring my numbers down. I kept correcting, waiting, checking again… and nothing.
