The newest wave of 2026 research in Diabetologia and Diabetes Technology and Therapeutics is mostly about variability, how differently the same walk lands in different bodies. Which means the most important dataset in the world for your diabetes has a sample size of one: you.\nThen the assignment: pull your week-one baseline, take the after picture, and grade it with Neil's rubric instead of your inner gym teacher's. Steps up by any amount is a win. Longest sit down might be the bigger win. Flat totals with better spread still wins. And if life wrecked your September? You're still here in week seven. That counts.\nIn this episode:\nWhy exercise variability is the new frontier of T1D research\nThe sample-size-of-one idea that justifies the whole beat-yesterday approach\nThe four-outcome grading rubric that turns every honest result into information\nHow to take your after picture in five minutes tonight\nYour challenge: take the after picture, grade it with the rubric, and send it in for the finale wall.\nHelpful resources and newsletter: https://yourbestt1dyear.com\nConnect with Neil: TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@the.betes Instagram: https://instagram.com/thebetes Facebook: https://facebook.com/neilgreathouse LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/neil-greathouse-a607b912 Website: https://yourbestt1dyear.com\nBooks on Amazon: Type 1 Diabetes – One Day at a Time: https://a.co/d/6UHooWJ Type 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}
