#18: Charlotte Hayes w/ Team Novo Nordisk

This week I was fortunate to speak with diabetes and sport medical expert Charlotte Hayes with Team Novo Nordisk. Charlotte is the director of research and education for the team and has a deep history in certified diabetes education. We talk a lot about how she defines success in diabetes management for T1 athletes. Her insight and experience on exercise's effect on diabetes is absolutely incredible and immediately helped me refocus some aspects of my care that I've been wanting to improve on. I also got some insight on what happens when a non-diabetic wears a CGM. Super surprising!!

In this week's episode I speak with mom of a T1 and running coach Cassie Jackson. Cassie is an incredible runner in her own right, but also helps manage her daughter's T1 during all the running and swimming she does as well. On top of talking about their diabetes management, we talk about her approach to coaching, and some things we can all do to improve our training.
