Kris Freeman, four-time Olympic cross country skier, comes on the podcast to share his take on the controversial remarks posted on Twitter by the CrossFit CEO in 2015, and why Kris thinks Type 1 diabetes should be renamed. Scott and Kris discuss the challenges of living and working with others who have preconceived stereotypes about what it means to live with Type 1 diabetes. Kris describes the early years of his management and how he manages now in order to compete at the Olympic level in cross country skiing. Scott shares his thoughts on why having stable blood sugars are important and why he works so hard to keep Arden’s blood sugar stable overnight. They discuss Arden’s latest A1C and Scott’s management style and the techniques he uses to achieve it. Scott and Kris discuss physical activity and living well.
