X-Health.show - meet the future of healthcare

Managing diabetes is complex enough, adding sports on top of it seems too much for many. But what if you had an app that would help?

You’ll hear about

• the physiology of exercising with type 1 and type 2 diabetes
• what can go wrong
• hypoglycaemia and hiperglycaemia
• ketoacidosis
• tools to use to take control of the glucose level and do sports seriously, like there weren’t out there before

My guest today is Dr. Sam Scott, the Chief Scientific Officer at Enhance-d. An exercise physiologist with a vast background in researching diabetes and exercise in the UK, Canada, and Switzerland. He is an Advisor on the Exercise Physiology interest group leadership team for the American Diabetes Association.
