Diabetes Training Camp

Sat. Dec 5th - 10am - 2pm EST

Our Next VCAMP

Low Today: Bonk Tomorrow

REGISTRATION: $33.85 

How hypoglycemia affects next-day performance. And, how to avoid that vicious cycle.

Hypoglycemia can negatively impact your performance and success the following day. Join us to discuss the nutritional and mental skills and strategies to break that vicious cycle.

Many exercisers and athletes with type 1 diabetes often view a low blood sugar as the ONE THING to avoid while training, exercising, or competing. Not only is it completely annoying and gets in our heads, it can also be a risk factor that keeps people from performing at a high level.

But there is also the big potential of a hypoglycemic episode having a negative impact on performance the NEXT DAY.

 

This virtual camp (VCAMP) will dive deep into the potential impact of low blood sugars one day on the ability to perform at a high level the next day. We will discuss diabetes management, nutrition strategies, mental skills, and more to prevent and manage this harsh cycle.

Dr. Matt Corcoran will be joined by Tiffany Rios, dietitian and CDCES; Lyndsay Gregerson, dietitian and CDCES; Megan Robinson, sport coach, CDCES, LDN, RDN; and Annie Berger, sports psychologist and mental performance coach.

All registrants will receive a zoom link and instructions 1-2 days before the VCAMP

FEATURING

Kris Osterberg, PhD, RD, CSSD

Gatorade Sports Science Institute

Dr. Osterberg brings both scientific expertise and athletic grit to everything she does. She leads the GSSI satellite lab at IMG Academy in Florida, where she studies how nutrition and gut health impact athletic performance.

She first joined the GSSI team back in 2001 and returned in 2021 to help lead cutting-edge research on how athletes fuel and recover.

Before becoming a scientist, Kris played Division 1 basketball at Colorado State University. She later earned a PhD in Human Nutrition from Virginia Tech, with research focused on the gut microbiome and metabolic health. Throughout her career, she’s studied how exercise, nutrition, and recovery interact—especially in active individuals.

When she’s not in the lab, you’ll find Kris on a trail somewhere—running, biking, hiking, or paddle boarding. She lives in Florida with her husband and three dogs, and she’s passionate about making science useful and actionable for real people.

About V Camp

In 2020, COVID forced us to pivot and find NEW ways to offer DTC camps, programs and services to our community. We had to cancel our in-person camps, but we couldn’t live with the idea of not learning, training and CONNECTING with the diabetes community. So, we created the V Camp programming. We know this experience is different from our in-person camps, but we learned that we can provide a unique and life-changing program dedicated to empowering the community of people with diabetes to thrive virtually. As a matter of fact, virtual programs were so popular that V CAMPS have been permanently added to our schedules.

The V Camps were created when we could not be together in person to continue to provide support and education for people living with diabetes. Virtually, we were able to learn, train and connect the DTC experts with new and alumni campers. We realized that virtual camps offer unique value and have added them permanently to our camp and program offerings.

The V Camp is founded in DTC’s core principles around diabetes management for exercise and sports and offers the same great information and community that our in-person camps offer. Camps range from one to three days.
