Halloween week, the most complicated holiday on the type 1 diabetes calendar, hosted by a man who hands out candy from a fire pit in his front yard like a benevolent porch goblin. This is the Halloween playbook, movement edition: why fun-size candy is secretly pre-portioned low treatment, why trick-or-treating is the biggest walking night of the year, and why lawn-chair sit-to-stands technically count as resistance training.

Everything the challenge taught applies to candy season: the after-dinner walk blunts the spike whether it's dinner or Kit Kats, the movement snack breaks up the couch-and-candy sit, and the ketone rule doesn't take holidays off. Most of all, it's a no-shame week. Eat the candy you want, dose for it, move a little, restart at the next meal. That's not falling off the wagon. That IS the wagon.

In this episode:

• The T1D case for fun-size candy as resource management
• Halloween as the year's biggest stealth walking night
• Post-meal walking science, applied directly to candy season
• The no-shame final exam: one imperfect night breaks nothing

Your challenge: enjoy Halloween on purpose, with movement hidden inside it. And reply with the best costume you see.
