The Philosophy
Data is not the enemy.
Ignorance is.

Every glucose reading is feedback, not judgement. The numbers tell the story of what is happening inside your body — and that story is yours to read, interpret, and act on.

01
The disease is
not the ceiling.

Type 1 diabetes is a variable to manage, not a verdict to accept. The Wolf Standard exists to show what is possible when you refuse to use your diagnosis as an excuse.

02
The long game
beats the quick fix.

Deliberate over reactive. Sustained over spectacular. The Blood Discipline is built for decades, not days — a framework for the person you are still becoming.

03
No wolf
runs alone.

The standard is held and raised in community — by others who know the highs, lows, and quiet wins of this path. The Pack is how we go further, faster, longer.

04
The Blood Discipline

Precision over
guesswork.
Every single day.

The Blood Discipline is a way of living with type 1 diabetes that treats every reading, rep, and run as feedback. It is the decision to turn data into direction — and discipline into freedom.

"The Wolf is not the one who never struggles. The Wolf is the one who returns, recalibrates, and runs again."

The Four Pillars

The architecture
of the discipline.

Four interconnected domains. One ecosystem. Every pillar supports and strengthens the others.

01
Track

Glucose, insulin, food, training, stress — all measured, not guessed. Numbers are the language of this discipline. They don't judge; they simply tell the truth.

T
02
Train

Strength and endurance as non-negotiables. Muscle on the frame, lungs that carry you for hours. Progressive, intelligent, sustainable over decades.

T
03
Tame

Mindset, routines, and environment. The unseen architecture that keeps you steady when the numbers swing, the workout bites, or life hits sideways.

T
04
Pack

No wolf runs alone forever. The standard is held and raised in community — by others who know the highs, lows, and quiet wins of this path.

P
The Wolf Standard

The line you draw
for yourself.

A Diabetic Wolf is not defined by diagnosis — it is defined by response. By the decision to turn data into direction, and discipline into freedom. The Wolf Standard is the benchmark you hold yourself to: strong, lean, capable, with blood sugars that support your life instead of limiting it.

  • Refuse "good enough" When a stronger, faster, healthier body is genuinely possible, settling is a choice.
  • Treat it as one ecosystem Blood sugar, training, sleep, and food are not separate battles. They are one system.
  • Own every variable you can And meet the ones you cannot with courage and calm — not excuses.
  • Return, recalibrate, run again The Wolf is not the one who never struggles. The Wolf is the one who keeps going.
  • Play the long game Decades of deliberate living, not days of desperate fixes.

My Story

From a ventilator
to the start line.

2009
Lifting weights, running treadmills after every session. Alcohol and cigarettes in the mix. Thought I was invincible.
2010
Hospitalised with severe acute pancreatitis. ARDS. Ventilator. Went in at 78 kg — came out at 55 kg. Couldn't bench a 20 kg barbell. Doctors: pancreas destroyed. Type 1/3c diabetes. No idea what was coming.
2013
Three years to rebuild. Learned physiology from scratch — alpha cells, beta cells, glycogen, macros. Progress came. Compliments came. Time in range improved.
2024
Solo Grand Canyon trail run. Running takes over. The body that couldn't bench 20kg now conquers trail and road.
2025
Brisbane Marathon: 3:09. Experts said 3:20. Couldn't bench a barbell in 2013. Now running sub-3:10 with a CGM on my chest.
Now
Endocrinologist: "Healthier than most men in their 40s." Now I coach other diabetics to prove we can compete with anyone.

Exercise & CGM

Find your Exercise Fingerprint in 14 days

Every T1D has a unique glucose signature around exercise. Most spend years guessing. This 14-day protocol maps yours using the CGM data you are already collecting, so you can predict your response before every session instead of reacting after it.

Read the protocol 12 min read
Insulin Dosing Essential read

How to calculate your meal bolus as an MDI user

Most T1D resources explain bolusing for pumps. MDI users get a footnote. This guide covers the full calculation from the ground up: your insulin-to-carb ratio, sensitivity factor, insulin on board, CGM trend adjustment, and how fat and protein change everything. With real meal examples and the 500 Rule for finding your starting ICR.

ICR ISF IOB Fat + protein CGM trend
Read the full guide
500
The rule for finding your ICR

Divide 500 by your total daily insulin. The result is how many grams of carbs one unit covers. A starting point, not a verdict.

1800
The rule for your correction factor

Divide 1800 by your total daily insulin. One unit of rapid-acting insulin drops your glucose by that many mg/dL.

3 to 4h
When fat and protein hit

Not at the 1-hour mark. Fat and protein delay glucose absorption and can cause spikes hours after your insulin has already peaked.

CGM and Training

Why your glucose spikes 3 to 4 hours after eating

Your insulin peaked at 90 minutes. Your glucose is rising at hour 3. The carbs were not the problem. Fat and protein slow digestion and cause a secondary rise that catches most MDI users off guard. Here is the evidence, the threshold to watch for, and the split-dose strategy to manage it.

The threshold
More than 20g protein or 15g fat in a meal changes your dosing strategy. Carb counting alone is not enough.

Exercise and Insulin

Bolusing for exercise: aerobic vs resistance, what actually changes

Aerobic training drives glucose down during and after the session. Resistance training drives it up acutely, then increases sensitivity for 24 to 48 hours after. Same meal. Same carbs. Completely different insulin requirement. This guide covers the exact reductions by exercise type, timing, and what your CGM should tell you before you dose.

The reduction
Pre-aerobic session bolus: reduce by 25 to 50%. Post-aerobic meal: reduce by up to 35%. Resistance: 10% reduction, monitor the delayed effect.

Dawn Phenomenon

Why your breakfast dose is bigger: the dawn phenomenon explained

Between 3am and 8am, cortisol and growth hormone surge and your liver releases stored glucose. This is normal physiology. For T1D athletes, it means the same meal needs more insulin at 7am than it does at noon. Affects around 54% of people with T1D. Here is how to identify it, measure it, and manage it without over-correcting.

The sign
Fasting glucose rising between 3am and 8am without any food or correction. Not a bad basal. Physiology working against you.

CGM Arrows

CGM trend arrows and insulin dosing: what the research says

A double up arrow means your glucose is rising at more than 2 mg/dL per minute. A down arrow means it is falling fast. Each arrow changes your dose. Clinical studies show trend-adjusted boluses reduce post-meal hypoglycemia significantly without increasing hyperglycemia. Here is the exact adjustment framework.

Race Day

Race day glucose management for T1D athletes: the complete protocol

Adrenaline pushes glucose up at the start line. Sustained aerobic effort drives it down mid-race. The post-race window carries nocturnal hypo risk for hours. Managing T1D on race day is a completely different problem from training day. This is the protocol built from 15 years of racing with type 1 diabetes.

The Blood Discipline
Protocol.

Most coaches guess. I decode your Exercise Fingerprint — the data-driven map of how your body responds to every lift, run, and meal you throw at it. Not a generic plan with a diabetes footnote. A protocol built specifically for insulin-dependent T1Ds on real training weeks, MDI or pump.

  • Custom 16-week program adjusted weekly based on your CGM response, not a generic template
  • Weekly CGM trace review with exact insulin and fuelling adjustments for your next 7 days
  • 1:1 Zoom every week to decode your data together — your graphs, your next week, your questions
  • MDI-specific fuelling: pre-bolus timing, carb stacking, post-session recovery
  • Race-day, travel, and real-life protocols that hold up outside the gym
Join the Waitlist Wolf Pack members get first access →
Phase 1 · Weeks 1–4
Foundation & calibration

Map your glucose fingerprint. Establish your basal baseline. Introduce low-impact compound lifts. Stop the rollercoaster before we add intensity.

Nutrition Framework

Train day.
Rest day.
Different fuel.

A T1D athlete does not eat the same way on a training day and a rest day. Training days demand more carbohydrate around the session window for fuel and recovery. Rest days shift toward protein and fat to support muscle repair without unnecessary glucose load.

The framework below is a starting point. Your macros depend on your weight, training intensity, and insulin sensitivity. The principle stays the same: match your fuel to your output.

Protein target
1.8g/kg
Muscle preservation on deficit
Calorie deficit
15%
Sustainable fat loss rate
Fat minimum
0.7g/kg
Hormone function floor
Carbs
Flex
Fill remaining calories
Training Day Higher Carbs
Pre-workout meal (1.5hr before)
P 30g C 40g F 8g
Intra-workout (if over 60 min)
15-20g fast carbs
Post-workout (within 60 min)
P 40g C 35g F 10g
Remaining meals
Balance to daily target
Carb window Around training only
Rest Day Lower Carbs
Protein stays the same
1.8g per kg bodyweight
Carbs reduced by 20 to 30%
Focus on vegetables
Fat slightly increased
Avocado, nuts, olive oil
CGM on rest days
Often more stable
Expect Higher TIR on rest days
Note

This framework is a starting point, not a prescription. Your actual targets depend on your bodyweight, insulin sensitivity, and training load. Always work with your endocrinologist and a sports dietitian experienced in T1D before adjusting insulin around nutrition changes.
