Meet Meghann Featherstun - a Registered Dietitian and board certified specialist in sports dietetics. Meghann is also a talented runner, having broken 3 hours in the marathon after starting to run as an adult in 2009.
Throughout our discussion Meghann answers questions from listeners, in addition to many of my own! Some of these include:
- What's a normal blood glucose range and why might runners be different from the average population?
- What impact does training have on your blood glucose over time?
- How is your blood glucose and other lab work impacted by an event like a marathon?
- How should diabetics think differently about pre-run/pre-race fueling?
- What is the impact of carb loading on blood glucose?
- Is pre-run fasting ever beneficial?
Meghann does an outstanding job of making a complex topic interesting and relatable, and you're bound to learn a lot from her expertise!
