New York Times Best Selling Author Robby Barbaro, who is living with type 1 diabetes, completes full Ironman, crediting nutrition tracking and eating fruit for fuel.

BRADENTON, Fla., Oct. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- New York Times bestselling author and co-founder of Mastering Diabetes, Robby Barbaro, completed the Tulsa, OK full Ironman, showing his 94 thousand followers that type 1 diabetes does not limit what he can do. With a final time of 11:44:09, he missed qualifying for the World Championships by just 1 minute and 6 seconds.

The Bradenton resident is now training for his second full Ironman on November 4th with the same determination and daily discipline that has allowed him to co-author a New York Times bestselling book and become one of the foremost leaders in the conversation around managing diabetes by using food as medicine.

"I eat well over 700 grams of total carbohydrate per day and inject a physiologically healthy amount of insulin (~27 units total per day). This means precise dosing at each meal is essential because of my high level of insulin sensitivity." Type 1 diabetic Robby Barbaro explains of his training.

Post this

Robby shares his training journey and the many challenges of endurance training while living with type 1 diabetes with his over 94 thousand followers on Instagram. Followers are always fascinated that Robby eats a strict plant-based diet, high in fruit carbs, which goes against the idea of managing blood sugar using a low-carb diet to decrease insulin resistance and reach his peak performance as an endurance athlete.

Robby credits the Cronometer app as a crucial part of his success. In preparation for the grueling events, he uses the app to keep track of his food intake, monitoring the muscle-building protein and calories and gauging his food to manage his blood glucose levels better.

"Cronometer is an essential part of my training," Robby explained. "I eat well over 700 grams of total carbohydrate per day and inject a physiologically healthy amount of insulin (~27 units total per day). This means precise dosing at each meal is essential because of my high level of insulin sensitivity. That's where Cronometer's ease of use and accuracy comes into play. Nutrition is pivotal for endurance athletes, and I can't thank Cronometer enough for creating the most robust nutrition logging platform on the planet."

"All of us at Cronometer wholeheartedly congratulate Robby on his success in completing a full Ironman. This is an incredible accomplishment, and we're thrilled that our app could act as a tool in achieving this impressive milestone. Cronometer is proud to work alongside Robby and his team, who are paving the way for people living with diabetes and demonstrating the success of managing their condition with a focus on diet and exercise," explains Aaron Davidson, CEO of Cronometer.

Robby is training for his second full Ironman triathlon on November 4th and is determined to continue inspiring others to live healthy, active lives with type 1 diabetes.
