His response was never \"should I stop?\" It was \"how do I keep lifting?\" \nTwelve years later he's a T1D exercise researcher in one of the top labs on the planet for this stuff, and he spends this hour translating science that usually reads like a tax form. The 48-hour insulin sensitivity bonus is real, and he confirms it. \nExercise makes your insulin faster, not stronger (there's a Fast and Furious button involved). Fasted and fed lifting behave differently, and a seesaw explains why. Plus caffeine as low protection, what's in his gym bag, the endo who tried to \"fix\" his intentional bulk, an official kilt ruling, and a brand new Fastest Five Minutes world record.\nFollow Alex: https://instagram.com/saintjohnscience\nKnow your type 1 diabetes risk with a painless cheek swab from T1D Scout: https://www.t1dscout.com\nHelpful resources and newsletter: https://yourbestt1dyear.com\nConnect with Neil: TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@the.betes\nInstagram: https://instagram.com/thebetes\nFacebook: https://facebook.com/neilgreathouse\nLinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/neil-greathouse-a607b912\nWebsite: https://yourbestt1dyear.com\nBooks on Amazon: Type 1 Diabetes – One Day at a Time: https://a.co/d/6UHooWJ\nType 1 Diabetes – True Stories: https://a.co/d/dfIlyI1","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/o0hXmJTfrsbPYfZKHjLJRs1Dx7iBMJisKDJZnYXjscs/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9lNzFh/MDhmY2QwMjcwZTcx/NWRkZTBjNTk5YzUz/YjY2MS5QTkc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
