Generally OK with the concept of raised glucagon in T2D so I can understand the assumption that the same must be taking place under T1D since it produces very little to no insulin.  However, that would miss the fact that T1D's do not continuously require insulin administration except in response to meals and other specific events that raise glucose.  The following 2018 paper gives more insight into the morphology of alpha cells and why the situation is not a straightforward matter of hyperglucagonemia.

It sounds a very complex yet organized way how our muscles work. Surprised how tiny the important parts are and how tough they are.

This is a great summary of the problem and excellent broad perspective. I think that insulin is still the master hormone or, more precisely, they are part of the same system. Glucagon stimulates a series of downhill processes and the ultimate conversion of glycogen to glucose is downhill energetically and must be regulated. The effect of insulin is negative and there are many such systems in biology. The retina, for example, is a dark receptor.  I have a YouTube that describes some part of the problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STzB2USmKBg

Greetings all, where can I find scaling information for the workouts?  I'm a newbie at this.

12:22
Scaled to 21-15-9 of:
L-Chinups (legs raise as body raises)
Pike pushups (feet elevated @ 24'box)

13:00, RX.  I do not have James Hobart's L-PU form or Dan Baileys sHSPU speed, but i got all the work done as written!

11:24 Rx. Dat pull-ups :D

10:46. Scaled to one-leg band assisted strict L pull-ups, 24” box assisted strict HSPU.

Pretty slow, but coming back from a right shoulder injury & had no pain! 👍🏽Felt a little wobbly, but much stronger than it’s been! Loved ❤️ the combination! Especially, after all the leg stuff we’ve been doing! 🤪

Shoulder press @ 80

Due to scheduling issues, did this WOD after the heavy overhead squats from previous WOD. Forgot to monitor time. My guess: 9 minutes? Scaled to 15-9-5

L pull-ups did a number on my back — it got really tight, and felt like it affected HSPUs as well.  I broke L pull-ups 10-6-5 / 6-5-4 / 5-4, and broke HSPUs 15-6 / 10-5 / 9.

3rd ever WOD - just happy to complete it.  TBH, apart from the first couple reps, did the whole thing in 1s and 2s, mostly 1s on the HSPUs. Got pumped as a Fit-Ball!

9:23

Have missed a bunch of great programming with a tweaked back and traveling.  So much to choose from, but after watching the classic of Annie, Nicole, and  Eva do Nasty Girls, I was more than inspired!  I miss those raw videos with the awesome music.
Results there.

13:07, Strict Pull-ups and Pike Push-ups w/ feet on floor

11:35, did bent knee pullups due to space  constraints (couldn't fully extend legs)

A bit of a "bounce" at the bottom of the L pull ups, but I'm pretty happy.

An interesting and convincing concept, this lipotoxicity of the beta cells. 
I tend to think of T2D as a longtime process, the final symptom of which is hyperglycemia. Sadly, the earlier symptoms do not routinely get tested (insulin with OGGT) or duely addressed (high TG / low HDL). The pancreatic fat graph of obese insulin resistant and T2D is almost equal, maybe the remaining difference is just hyperglycemia?

The late Dr. Kraft identified several patterns of insulin reaction abnormalities, which had two things in common: higher excretion and longer effect time, i.e. hyperinsulinemia that could still suppress hyperglycemia.  Petro at Hyperlipid sliced and diced studies on ectopic fat, demonstrating the higher metabolic rate of those storages i.e. they are being 4 times more insulin sensitive than normal adipose tissues. Same with normalweight and obese, even though obese have slower fat oxidation capability. How about combining these two?

Ectopic storages are meant for short time use only? Ever increasing and prolonging insulin levels make surplus to this recurrent storage, and when fasting levels creep higher the storage become chronic due to high insulin sensitivity? I.e. waist circumference grows? At which stage the macrophages accumulate etc. Ectopic fat spillover to organs follows this or develops correspondingly, and lipotoxicity worsens gradually... 

Insulin injection does not reach the pancreas with glucagon lowering effect? Treating just glucose number only is too little and partial, as indicated by Dr. Eades. 

As the imbalances leading to T2D are many, it seems like a one-way street back to normality: reduce carbs (in order to reduce need for insulin letting glucagon "empty" the storages), the more the further “broken” your energy partitioning system is. Pre-diabetic does not necessarily need ketogenic i.e. therapeutic levels.  Decreasing carbs works as a prevention/cure of metabolic syndrome, I would think (and have applied to myself).

Champions Club Scaling Notes:

RANT:
I would look at this one by taking away the "For time" aspect of it. Any time a "for time" workout has a "strict" movement, it is difficult to compare to because, I mean, what really does "strict" mean? This workout has two of them. Doing this by yourself should read "For Quality," doing this as a group could read "3 minutes of practice". Also, your arms should feel fried on the hspu station. If kipping hspu makes your arms feel fried, then do some of those. I did them the first round then strict the last two. But again, strict can always be stricter. I think there are very few people on earth who should go "For Time" on this one, and that is another reminder why, even though the workouts seem simple on paper, they are still designed for the fittest people on earth.

I SHOULD TRY THIS AS RX'D IF: I can do 21 straight wall-facing HSPU and 21 straight L-pull-ups with my legs straight above 90.

GROUP VERSION:
3 minutes of each, 2:30 of each, 2 minutes of each, 1:30 of each 1 minute of each, :30 of each. Not counting reps, just practicing. Easy to split up of bar space is limited, a good amount of volume, and people still might not get 45 reps of each.

INJURY VERSION:
Upper body injury - uh oh! I might just go AMRAP in 20 minutes of: 9 one-arm ring rows, 9 one-arm dumbbell press, :30 hollow hold
Middle-body injury - push-up and ring row can be subbed to Group Version 
Lower-body injury - group version

Warmup
Two low-skill strength pieces here mean use the warmup to practice things you are not good at.

General Fear Level: 3

What I wish I understood is why most people aren't willing to make a lifestyle change instead of taking a pharmaceutical? What seems so clear to a few, isn't even a consideration for most.

where is compare to date?

Warm-up for 190904:
GENERAL WARM-UP

AMRAP 10
Run 200 meters
10 walking lunges
5 inchworms + push-up
30-ft high hips bear crawl
20-second hollow hold
20-second arch hold

SPECIFIC WARM-UP

L pull-ups
15 scapular pull-ups
3 strict pull-ups
3 L pull-up negatives
3 sets of: 1 pull-up with right leg extended + 1 pull-up with left leg extended
3 L pull-ups

Strict handstand push-up
10 pike push-ups
10 handstand push-ups with knees or feet on box
5 reps of a slow handstand push up negative
5 reps of a strict handstand push-up

Globo scale: as rxed.  If you can't do HSPU (gym rules or  as a sub due to no wall space) do strict presses with heavy dumbbells (about 60-70% bodyweight total).

INTENDED STIMULUS
.
This is a nice short workout. It is a gorgeous mix of gymnastics stamina and speed. It is both a sprint and and a chipper. This just means that you might want to break your sets often and early, but also you should keep moving. The capacity required for this workout is high. Don't let the ego get in the way of making this a sprint --i.e. under five/six minutes. Assist movements if needed to keep the time short, but make sure to preserve the strictness of both movements. Whatever you do, don't go to failure, unless it's your last set. In terms of form, think about pulling when doing the handstand push-ups and think about pressing when doing the pull-ups. I know this sounds crazy but it will actually engage the muscles of your back in a nice way. Break early, often, and keep moving fast!

15-12-9 reps for time of:
