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
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.
