An intro to
Type One Outdoors

Type One Outdoors

Type One Outdoors is all about outdoor adventure as a type one diabetic.
Hosted by Paul Reid, a type 1 diabetic for 35 years, showcases his adventures in the outdoors and highlights all sorts of useful diabetic tricks to getting outdoors, safely and with the confidence of knowing this condition can't stop anyone.
A chronic illness like diabetes shouldn't limit anyone to a lifestyle of seclusion, and Paul hopes to inspire other type one diabetics to connect with nature and enjoy the outdoors with this chronic condition.

It's annoying, sure, Dawn Phenomenon. That pesky high glucose in the morning hours. But it's not just high glucose, it's the insulin resistance that comes along with it. I do have my secret weapon handy at most times though. ...My Afrezza... #shorts
Yep, they've been out for a while now, but when my prescription finally got upgraded to the 2nd gen, I was stoked and had to share. #shorts
If you're a Trail Running Type 1, who carries BGM test strips along for the adventure, you know those things come with an annoying rattle. I have a solution for that. Any soft gauze that can wipe blood from the test site can be stuffed into the canister of strips, and calm that annoying rattle for good! #shorts

A quick refresher on failed plans.

A short montage of the Burkhart Trail in the Angeles National Forest.
One of my favourite trails in the San Gabriel Ranges.

This is the story of how myself, JD and Ryan took on the challenge of summiting the three highest peaks in Southern California inside of 24 grueling hours in 2017.

In this quick montage, JD, Dave and I climbed the east face of Mount Whitney to a successful summit in 2015, despite having to spend the night on the face due to an unexpected storm.
