When Ben was 7 years old, he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, and it altered the course of his life. Back then, people didn't believe that diabetics could participate in sports or even be active without extreme risk. As Ben lived with this condition for his entire life, he defied many of the expectations that were put on him at a young age. He also wanted to help other diabetics like him actually be understood by their dietitians and doctors. That's what led him to creating Your Diabetes Insider - a healthcare and nutrition practice where everyone on his team is also a dietitian with diabetes. (He's also a strength coach in addition to being a dietitian.) Anyway, here's what Ben and I discuss in today's episode: What's the difference between prediabetes, type 1 diabetes, and type 2 diabetes? The #1 most important metric diabetics must know and keep in balance (or they could die). How diabetes affects muscle growth, mobility, quality of life, and more And the best ways to exercise with diabetes Listen now. The highlights include: How Ben defied the expectations of his doctors, his parents, and himself after being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 7 years old. (2:21) Why Ben created a \"Dietitians with Diabetes\" service. (Growing up, there was a stigma all doctors had that barred kids with diabetes from playing sports or even being active. Ben's Your Diabetes Insider is his response to nobody truly understanding what life's like with diabetes.) (3:45) Why people with diabetes have to make an extra 180 decisions per day. (8:28) How Covid (and other viruses) migh…","meta_description":"If you want to make managing your diabetes easier or if you are curious about how diabetes alters your life, today's guest, Ben Tzeel (founder of Your Dia…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3282,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-better-man-podcast-5344990/episodes/160-how-to-make-managing-diabetes-easier-with-diabetic-dietitian-ben-tzeel/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-better-man-podcast-5344990/160-how-to-make-managing-diabetes-easier-with-diabetic-dietitian-ben-tzeel.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
